FROM JOHN MARSTON LIMITED, WOLVERHAMPTON. TELEPHONE: 21481 (4 LINES) TELEGRAMS: SUNBEAM, WOLVERHAMPTON. CODES: A.B.C. 5TH & 6TH EDITIONS: BENTLEY'S. Reply to be addressed to John Marston Limited for the attention of AWD/BR 111/4 23rd October, 1937 Holm Ruy /8M Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Steadman. Dear Sirs, Attached hereto are the heat dissipation figures on the three Mark VI customers' matrices which were returned to us together with a matrix which has been on test on the Continent. We have returned to you today the third customers matrix block reference K.94 as requested. The other customers matrix C.94 is now on test after being treated with Kyrac to remove all deposits. This will be returned to you together with the dissipation figures after the tests are completed. With regard to oil coolers, our Tube Works at Witton inform us that it will be about the middle of next week before they have converted the tubes, and we shall let you know as soon as they are available so that you can visit us in order to follow through the building up of coolers embodying these tubes. The Bentley Dummy Shutter set has been despatched to you, and we trust you will find this satisfactory. We shall be glad to know if this shutter set fits to your inner radiator satisfactorily as it has been hand made and the fixing holes have been marked out instead of being jig drilled, as would production supplies. Following our telephonic conversation with yourself and Mr. Toplis, we are sending a further supply of new Oil Coolers to you today together with a further four reconditioned Mark V matrices. Assuring you of our best attention. Yours faithfully, FOR JOHN MARSTON. LIMITED. [Signature] | ||
