With a view to cutting down the cooling system we asked Steadman to analyse a possible means of lightening this portion of the chassis. The attached analysis leads us to conclude that pressure cooling is the right thing to go for and we are working on these lines. Development work lies almost entirely between the Section Engineer and the Matrix Manu-facturers, in this case, Marstons, Wolverhampton. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
