| R.{Sir Henry Royce} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X5250. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M26.2.32. X5250 C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. RADIATOR SHUTTERS. Herewith is a print of N.sch.3415. - radiator shutters. This drawing has been delayed by changes to the shape of the section of the shutter tube. The scheme embodies the proposal to cheapen the shutters by using a more or less standard tubular section, the tube to be stainless or chromium plated. Three alternative methods of dealing with the upper trunnion and levers are shewn, it being intended that Derby should choose the most convenient type for manufacture, and obtaining the required finish to the tube ends.
