| contd:- -2- We should be glad if you will take action so that as far as possible radiators can be made so as to allow the maximum flow required which should be part of specification when ordering or manufacturing. We feel the outlet pipe of radiator is small in the base (¾") compared with the 40/50 (1⅜"). As now suggested by you, we proposed trying larger outlet. We are making further investigation of this defect but we consider the fault one of vital importance and requires urgent attention and we advise holding y up constructional work on radiators, pending settlement.
