COPY EH1/LG31.3.19- X.3454 - RE INSTRUMENT TO RECORD WATER TEMPERATURE OF 40/50 CHASSIS. We have been using a Thermometer on 49-GB which we obtained from the Cambridge Scientific Co. This instrument is in the form of a gauge and has a range from 50 to 100°C. We have found this instrument extremely useful. We recommend that we should fit one of these instruments to each chassis. If we do this we recommend that the connection is made in the top of the radiator and the pipe carried round inside the frame on to the instrument board so that the engine could always be dismantled without risk of damaging the Thermometer tube.
