RE NON-SPILLING RADIATOR FILLER CAP. The parts for the above scheme referred to in your memo Sgl/E.15.9.30. and which was described to you by R.{Sir Henry Royce}, will be completed towards the end of this week, and ready therefore to fit to a radiator. We appreciated the importance of this, and made the matter an urgent one, as the cap to which it has to be fitted is bigger than our previous one. We would suggest making this part i.e. the new cap standard for N.2 series, as then the new parts could be applicable very quickly, immediately after test, and the cap and filler would be standard except for being somewhat larger in diameter, which is, of course, a step in the right direction.
