BONNETS AND RADIATORS. ----------------------- With reference to Sgl/E.23.8.29 and your other note on Bonnets and Radiators. We find that we have scrapped the tapered 40/50 radiator which we made some ten years ago. We have nothing that we could fit up to give a reasonable impression of the appearance of a tapered radiator. Our previous efforts at making mock-up radiators and bonnets have always been unsatisfactory. We think it would be best if we worked to a proper design and made a really good job.
