| X.766 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY1/P19.9.21. CHASSIS - RADIATORS X.3456 RE WATER BOILING. X.766. In view of the fact that the smaller pulley we despatched to Paris to overcome the customers complaint, who was running regularly through high altitude alpine passes, I think we should give the matter serious consideration as to whether this improvement should be standardised at once. This proposal does not, of course, mean that you would stop any experiments you are at present carrying out, but merely that we should put on a known improvement without delay. Anyway, the matter is, of course, in your hands. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
