P.III Complaints
----------

Boiling
----------

The three doubtful Mark 6. Matrices removed
from customers' cars are defective but this has not
been shown up by the manufacturers tests,
a revision of the testing procedure is accordingly
being considered.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} explained that the new high speed fan will
require two belts, because of the poor quality of
English belt material.

Sr. said that with the Mark 6. Matrices and
louvred bonnets he did not anticipate trouble due to
high speed boiling.
