Re. 24-EX. in France. ------------------- Would you please let me know what sort of a bonnet it is from the point of view of ventilation? When Rn.{Mr Robinson} was with me the other day I distinctly understood him to say that it had two shutterg ventilators on each side, i.e. 4, and that the test was being run in hot weather with them open. On the other hand, Whr.{Mr Wheeler} has a note from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} definitely saying that this is a plain bonnet, by which I understand him to mean a bonnet without shutter ventilators, or louvres. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
