| X3456 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} EH. } from R.{Sir Henry Royce} copy to CJ. 9th. Dec. 1918. R2/G91218. RE RADIATOR FOR AFTER-THE-WAR CHASSIS. Regarding the "after-the-war" chassis, I want you to be sure to satisfy yourselves that the radiator that we are adopting is vastly superior to those which we have had considerable trouble with in service. It is understood that we try three types:- (1) Made of round tubes formed into hexagons at the end. (2) Round tubes not expanded at the ends, but fitted with bonding wires that can be extended through to the bottom tank. (3) Square tube radiators with the bonding wires running through at least vertically to the bottom plate. I also want you to be quite satisfied that the method of suspending the radiator is satisfactory in every way. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
