| P30/T6512. M^r Hadin. X55. May 6th. 1913. RE EXPERIMENTAL LOUVRED BONNET. We have tested this on one of the L to E cars with ventilated undershield and open Dashboard, and find that same is an advantage as regards water temperature. This type of bonnet should be fixed to 1930 E (Radley) for the Austrian Alpine Contest. Of course as you are aware the bonnet we have tested is only a temporary one, made of tinned iron. E.P. | ||
