| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. 300a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.10/AP.17.6.37 32-EX. Car. We are likely to wish to fit a thermometer to the above car (when it is in France) with the bulb at the front of A.side head instead of the rear of B. side head. Will you therefore fit a thermometer union (not the rubber mounted type) to the pocket on the front of A.side head, together with a blank for same, and also modify the ignition wire tube to clear the thermometer union and bulb (as was done on 37-EX. car) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
