To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce}

X.4240.

R6/M2.6.22.

X.4240 - GOSHAWK RADIATOR. LeC.1586.

One of Mr. Hives recent memos. seems to infer that the standard radiator and fan working normally in the test room, the engine could not be run continually without boiling.

If this is so, we shall await the result of the larger fan with broader blades running somewhat slower.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
