Re Water Circulation. TBB9/L2912. Mr Royce 1.9.12. Mr Wormald has asked me to send you the following report from Mr Kirby, written from the Bombay depot, concerning the above:- "It would be an advantage to get our engines to run cooler if possible. The water boils or is at boiling point after a car has run about 35 miles in the hot weather. Several makers of cars have this trouble out here in the hot season. It has been over come in some cases by gearing up the fan, increasing the radiator area or by enlarging the water pipes etc." X766 | ||
