CMD VULCAN WORKS, EDGWARE ROAD, CRICKLEWOOD, N.W.2. 15th December, 1937. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y . For the attention of Mr. C. S. Steadman. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 14th instant and desire to advise you that the only way you can compare our Radiator Matrix (Patent No. 398,110) with others which may have been offered to you, is to inspect the material of which the matrix is made before it is dipped in the solder pit. We shall be pleased to supply you with sample undipped block of the fins and gills which constitute the matrix for which we are quoting you and we will be obliged if you will request any firms supplying you with alternative quotation to do likewise so that you can examine same in detail. We attach herewith description of our type of matrix and desire to inform you that the Mechanization Board and other Government Departments have recently recommended same as a result of extended tests and our type is being used to replace heat transference units previously fitted as considerably higher costs to special "Tanks" and other purposes. Yours faithfully, for GALLAY LIMITED. L. T. Delaney [Handwritten notes:] [Top right corner:] 2008? [Right margin:] 440. [Below date:] Within Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /STD | ||
