| X.4240 Extract from hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG2.9.9.21. RADIATOR. X.4240. We have had a slight leak from the bottom tank of the radiator. We think the radiator suspension would be improved if the rubber strip was omitted or instead, a small round pad of rubber in the centre. As we have pointed out previously, the big area of rubber offers considerable resistance to compression. We have got to accept that the rubber will strip and never be very accurate in dimension.
