| 340. To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.11/AP.2.4.37. We send you herewith a Ph.III. radiator shell made in mild steel and chromium plated which has been made by Messrs John Marston. We are far from satisfied with the appearance of this shell, but wish to run it on a car to see whether the chrome plating peels off with use. Will you therefore fit this shell to 33.EX. car radiator while this car is in the Shop. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
