| X1280 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.5/KW. 19th November, 1935. Messrs. Gallay Ltd., 103-109, Scrubs Lane, Willesden, LONDON, N.W.10. For the attention of Mr. L.T. Delaney. Dear Sirs, As requested in our interview on the 13th inst., and in your letter of the 15th inst., we are sending you a Bentley radiator matrix complete with top and bottom tanks, to which you will fit one of your two row Gallay matrices. Since the matrix will be thinner than the Bentley one, this will necessitate some adapting of the top and bottom tanks. It is important that these tanks maintain the same relative positions as the shutters are mounted off them. We should like you to return the radiator when complete, together with the matrix which you remove from it. We should also very much like to receive any figures which you can send us, showing relative heat dissipations, drags, etc., of the Gallay and Harrison type matrices. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
