re. ANTI-SPILLING VALVE
ON RADIATORS.

I shall be very interested to know whether you are using on all our models the anti-spilling valve. This seems such a great improvement that it ought to be adopted in all sizes of radiators, from P. 2. to Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine), not only for its anti-spilling properties, but because it permits of a slight increase in temperature before boiling and loss of water occurs.

It should be a good selling feature. Our experience with it in France was very good.
