Re EAC.8. (12-EX). Radiator Suspension.

With the "Ferobestos" bush type of
Radiator Mounting, W.W. sent alternative schemes.

(1). "N" Schemes 2076/7 without Felt rings.
(2). "N" Scheme 2086 with Felt rings each side.

The radiator recently dismantled from
12-EX is made to No.2. and the one being prepared for
the 10,000 miles (7 mm. tubes .500 shorter) is to be
No.1.

This will give a comparative test between
the two types.

Will HEB{H. Biraben} please warn RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} regarding the
parts on his section required for 12-EX.
For EAC.14. we are instructing to No.2.
