| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Mr. c. to C. x7960. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 3/MJ. 23.4.30. RADIATOR JELLYING. x7250 x457 x7960 We failed to cure radiator 'jellying' on 1-WJ with the single point mounting mentioned in Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.1.4.30. The results obtained were most disappointing because from tests on Experimental cars, we thought that a solution had been found. It is clear that 'jellying' is so much worse on 1-WJ than on any experimental car that we have, that we are at a big disadvantage unless we can work on this particular car. We therefore ask you if possible to let us keep 1-WJ until we have made some real improvement to it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
