BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X819 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG11.12.23. OVERHEATING. With reference to your BJ9/H6.12.23. We have just sent our report on the possibility of reducing the temperature under the scuttle. As regards over-heating of the water in summer-time, there is very little we can do except fit the larger radiator. From 'S' series 40/50 HP., the radiator matrix is 21" deep instead of 20". No designs have been got out for shallower radiators for the present design 40/50 HP. One of these radiators is being tried on the EAC-11. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
