| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ3/S2.7.20, X.3563. Thermostat Control for Water Temperature. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AT30.6.20, are we confidnet that in fitting the Thermostat, we shall have no trouble in town or country, or on long hills during a hard frost? That is to say, supposing we introduce this new fitting to some hundreds of chassis, is it possible that during the Winter, we may hear that they are all a failure, or givingtrouble. Will the fitting of this Thermostat necessitate much scrap ? Can any estimate be given of the extra cost ? When is the Thermostat likely to be fitted, namely, on what series of chassis will it first be introduced ? | ||
