There is an added use for a cold chamber in that when it is not being used at low temperatures it becomes a very good silent Room since it is of necessity heavily insulated. The question of silence has become somewhat acute due to the invasion of the single cylinder units, which are making any work of this nature in the Garage almost impossible. We attach some details of the specification for the cold chamber, which we think would be suitable, which were got out some 6 months ago. We should like this to be reconsidered and if agreed, a space to be allotted to it and the work put in hand. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
