| To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} (Chateauroux) from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. 300a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.2/AP.15.7.37 We are despatching to you by air mail the correct fan driving pulley for 32-EX. car. Will you please fit this as soon as possible. If it is possible to do this without the fan pulley withdrawal tackle, we should like you to do this - in case it is not, we are forwarding to you a set of the necessary tackle as soon as it is ready. You do not state on your daily reports when quoting water temperatures, which thermometer they refer to - will you please let us have the readings on both front and rear thermometers in future. Will you also please check the radiator shutter setting with the water cold, as the average running temperatures seem somewhat low. Will you also let us know whether you have to add any water to the radiator. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
