We understand from John Marston's, that if this filler ring EB.3621 were made in brass instead of steel as is at present the custom, considerable simplification with respect to the soldering and plating would result. As the radiator shell is already in brass we consider this modification would be well worth while adopting and think the necessary official instructions should be issued to Marston's as soon as possible.
