| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} R X240 E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}1/HP.28.4.34. Steadman C.RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} [Text is struck through] We should have this fitted to B50AH in conjunction with the narrow Harrison matrix. Will arrange to do tests on Brooklands later. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Bentley Radiator Grille. In regard to the car which is being fitted with a radiator grille in place of the shutters, may we remind you that it will be necessary to fit a water thermostat, and bypass piping to the water pump. We seem to remember that the thermostat as originally fitted, although it has done a fair amount of running, has not been free from some criticisms. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} C.l | ||
