Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KW.21.3.35. B-46-AH. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Summers, Esq. Wrote Replying to Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}21/HR.20.3.35, we are investigating the suggestion that we should make the distributor more water-proof. With regard to snow entering the bonnet, this cannot be prevented if reasonable ventilation and cooling is to be provided, and if we deal with the distributor such an occurrence should not cause the owner any inconvenience.
