| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X264a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.9/KW.30.10.35. We are writing to Messrs. John Marston to ask them to return a Bentley radiator fitted with a Mark VI matrix, which we sent to them for test. As soon as we receive this radiator we shall hand it to you and we wish you to remove the matrix, matrix frame, and bottom tank, and fit them to a new production radiator; i.e., the radiator to be to present standard production except for the special Mark VI matrix, matrix frame and bottom tank. This radiator will then be forwarded to France for G.W.H. to run on B-56-BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
