To R.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} (Held up). c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 17940.. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LU.30.4.30. With reference to the attached Daily Report of the 10,000 miles test in France 27.4.30. We think that the high radiator temperature complained off may be due to the radiator filter that we have already mentioned causing restriction in the water circulation. Previous 10,000 mile tests on Phantom ll have indicated that with the standard system we are not under- cooled. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
