To BA. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to CJ. [struck through] " " BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} [struck through] " " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [struck through] " " CK.{Mr Clark} X.3563 ORIGINAL. E1/G5/2/20. 3 RE WATER TEMPERATURE REGULATOR. 40/50 H.P. CHASSIS. When it is desired to drain a car fitted with the water temperature regulator, unless the valve seat of the top regulator valve is poor, the water should be held up owing to the lock formed by the valve. Would you kindly arrange to have a smaller hole drilled through the valve disc to form an air leak and to enable the water to drain away without fail. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
