BENTLEY III. RADIATOR.

In view of Marstons criticisms of the radiator grille construction, we have investigated some alternatives. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. will take them up with Marstons with a view to arriving at an agreed form. In the meanwhile, the first radiator should have a grille made to the original design.

Two alternative constructions are shewn on FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 78 and 79 herewith. If a print of each were handed to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. he would discuss this with Marstons, pending which nothing more need be done with them.

Of the two we prefer FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 79.
