| contd:- -2- We at present occasionally get complaints of water boiling on the 20 HP. For instance, Dodd, when driving 5-G-11 car to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, reported that the water boiled on one occasion. Taking it allround, we should recommend the new rad-iator with thermostat operated shutters. This last feature may be a debatable point, but we consider an expensive car should have such a refinement. We have had sufficient experience on the 40/50 HP. to know that the thermostat unit can be made reliable. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
