| N5/B41012. Re Temperature of Cooling Water. Mr Elliott Mr Wormald Mr Platford Mr Bailey Mr Barrington Mr Spinney 4-10-12 Mr Johnson carried out a number of tests whilst on the Continent with a view to finding the difference in temperature of the cooling water with the lower part of the dashboard open and closed. He found a very marked difference and suggests that we should immediately cease to fit the screen and leave the dashboard open. Mr Barrington has the figures and I am asking him to publish them in the usual way. I have issued instructions this morning that the screen shall be removed from those cars in our hands. X879 | ||
