Referring to our report Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.3/JH.24.6.36. concerning the cooling of the Cadillac car, we attached a sheet giving particulars of the Phantom III and Cadillac fans. On this we have incorrectly stated that the fan speed/engine speed ratio for the Cadillac was 1.14/1. Owing to an error in measuring the pulleys, actually the ratio has been checked and is the same as the Phantom III i.e. .89/1 We attach a corrected sheet. Will you please file this and destroy the incorrect copy. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
