To Nor, from BJ. Copies to... Byr Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EB. X766 BJ6/H6.5.25. OVERHEATING. 20 HP. As the matter of overheating is now being so closely studied in regard to the 40/50 h.p. "Silver Ghost" and "New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I", we trust it will not be forgotten that the same problem arises in regard to the 20 H.P., namely, that we have had quite a number of complaints in regard to these cars overheating. It is thought that whilst you are experimenting with the 40/50 H.P., it might also be borne in mind that some of the experiments might give us useful information in arriving at a cure for overheating on the 20 H.P.
