-2- We have already had a scream from London on this point. We have had reports from you in connection with 93-NK on which the air temperature has been given as 32° without boiling. We should like to-knew you to collect as much data as possible. We want to know the effect of the direction of the wind and whether the fan belt is tight or slack, whether the bonnet shutters were open or closed, how much improvement with the bonnet sides open? 93 NK - a 1923 Silver Ghost Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
