| ORIGINAL. TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} &. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} c.c. to CJ. GOSHAWK - INCREASED COOLING CAPACITY. X4240 Referring to your By6/P1223. If a shutter is advisable in preference to louvres in the side of the bonnet,(as I think it is) we ought to be able to design one which does not rattle, and yet always ready for opening.
