| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 766 Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/WW9/W4.2.24. Re Water Boiling at high altitudes on Continental Tours. You will no doubt recollect we have a few owners, (British and foreign) of R-R.{Sir Henry Royce} cars, who are in the habit of touring on the Continent during the summer, and who have experienced the above trouble. These owners are still awaiting advice from us as to the best means of overcoming the trouble. As the time is approaching when they will probably be starting out on other tours, we shall be glad if you will let us know the present position as regards this matter. Your early reply will oblige.
