RADIATOR SHUTTERS, & 20/25HP. We send herewith Lec. 2819. shewing modifications to the bottom bearings of the above for the purpose of reducing the friction at this point to enable the shutters to operate with a smaller range of temperature. This drawing also shews the mounting for the bottom bearing stiffened up so that this part will not be so easily distorted, either in use or when the radiator is being lifted about.
