| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. X240 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.1/MA.5.6.34. BENTLEY RADIATOR GRILLE. We understand that you are going to alter the above grille as instructed in memo E.1/HP.1.6.34. We wish to have strip of metal fitted to the flutes of this grille as shown in accompanying sketch, in order to prevent any streamline action causing the air to flow off instead of through the grille. Will you please have the necessary strips and fittings made to enable us to attach or detach these strips at will, while you are altering this grille. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
