Smith}'. x7220 It has been noticed that if the fan belt stretches too much, the fan will foul the radiator shutter controls, also the blades are very near the governor case. It would be advantageous if the fan could be dropped lower and nearer to the matrix by approx. .125". Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
