| W/LH.{Mr Haworth} - JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} X360 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.22/KW.8.5.36. We understand from Major Cox that the water temperature on 34-EX is running at about 95°C. under fast touring conditions. This is abnormally high as compared with the temperatures which we have experienced on this car while it was here. We understand that the car is at the moment at the Coachbuilders, and would like to be present when you pass this car off before it becomes a demonstration car, in order to check up on the reason for this high water temperature. If you will ring up the wrter and let him know a convenient date, he will come down to Lillie Hall for this purpose. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/C.S.Steadman. | ||
