| G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Radcliffe. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 87 88. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/MJ.27.10.30. RADIATOR TESTS ON BROOKLANDS. Brooklands closes on Friday the 31st. Oct. You should therefore start your radiator tests not later than first thing Wednesday morning. The two radiators to be tested are a square tube E.80239 having dented tubes, and the standard radiator having eight dents per tube instead of four, as previously. We want both these radiators comparing with the standard radiator having four dents per tube. The tests we want carried out are the same as before - i.e. 60 M.P.H. all closed, all-out all closed, and vertically louvred bonnet all closed. Repeat tests should be done, of each.
