Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}23/F15.3.20. X3456. RE. FIXING OF RADIATOR PLATES. According to present weather conditions it seems that the fixing of the 7" and 4" radiator plates causes the water to boil too rapidly, and in order to carry out our instructions of obtaining the normal temperature, we propose to see that cars which are finally delivered to customers at this season of the year have the 7" plate only fixed, in fact it will be necessary for us to fix plates according to the weather conditions when the finished car is delivered from the Coachbuilders. Please let me know if thereis any objection to this. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
