V.{VIENNA} Radiator. We send you herewith blueprints of an amended drawing RE. 583/1. We have on this drawing shown the nearness of the top tank to radiator shell and I consider this tank is far too close for production. I suggest that the standard B.V. width of tank is the maximum we should use. The steam escape pipe will also require our type in preference to "Morris" as in their case a deninite foul occurs. I would also point out that the use of an RR filler will also be an asset, both from clearance with the bonnet and appearance. The remainder of the scheme appears to be quite satisfactory.
