RE LOUVRES ON RADIATOR.

It is understood that for the near future we use the combination of a set of hand operated louvres from the dash on the front of the radiator, combined with a thermometer fixed on the dash for all cars, until such time that we have thoroughly satisfied ourselves that a thermostat operated louvres are desirable and necessary, and that we have proved our design for such an apparatus to be a success.

We cannot look forward to this for under about 12 months, so that our policy for perhaps this year and next year, will be the combination suggested above.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
