| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/AD25.11.29 contd. -2- We should request Mr.Short to use soft water if possible as there appears to be something peculiar about the water he has been previously using. We have, of course, doped the radiator with sodium phosphate. Mr.Short's car has been most useful to us as it has shewn a trouble which we did not think existed, i.e. that with an F2B series car, as soon as the radiator becomes partially choked, water is expelled from the system whenever the car is driven at maximum speed, thereby aggravating the complaint of overheating. We are taking steps to deal with this peculiarity. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
