| contd:- -2- We at present occasionally get complaints of water boiling on the 20 HP. For instance, Dodd, when driving S-C-11 car to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, reported that the water boiled on one occasion. Taking it allround, we should recommend the new radiator with thermostat operated shutters. This last feature may be a debatable point, but we consider an expensive car should have such a refinement. We have had sufficient experience on the 40/50 HP. to know that the thermostat unit can be made reliable. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
