X.3678 COPY. Na.{Mr Nadin} from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Btn. c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C & E FC. BY2/P22.5.20. X.3563: CHASSIS - TOP WATER CONNECTIONS. SECTION 5190. X 3678 FILED Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} informs me that it is practically certain we shall adopt the Thermostat control and that therefore it would be wise to hold up certain parts on the Water Conn: We are informing you of this proposed modification in order that you may be kept right up-to-date with ourselves. The Thermostat control will alter practically all the top water connection system, but it will not affect the radiator. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
