LFD/JJ. 3rd May, 1939 W.A. Robotham Esq., Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sir, Mr. E.R. Hall has asked me to get into touch with you regarding the oil cooler and heat exchanger for the P.3. engine. Serck Radiators with whom we are in touch on this subject write as follows: "In order that we may put forward our proposal which will be from our standard range of Marine coolers, we should be pleased if you would furnish us with additional information. We should like to know the rates of circulation for the oil, fresh water, and sea water; also maximum permissible temperatures, together with heat dissipation" Will you please let me have this information so that I can pass it on to Sercks. Mr. Hall also asked me to arrange with you for the engine to be fitted with lifting rings fore and aft, so that it can be craned into the hull. Thanking you, I am, Yours faithfully, MANAGING DIRECTOR. | ||
