SEW/FB/BV 9th July, 1937 Handwritten: Wdm/S17 Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, for the attention of Mr C.S. Steadman. We are in receipt of your letter of the 8th instant, reference Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.4/AP, and have pleasure in advising you that we shall be only too pleased to test an experimental car heater made by Messrs John Marston Ltd., and also a Buick latest type car heater, and let you have results of same. We agree that when these further tests have been carried out it will be highly desirable that a discussion takes place on the whole subject, and we suggest that this discussion be held at these Works. Will you kindly note the oil cooler tests we have carried out here have been completed, and full data regarding same is enclosed along with this letter. With reference to the private cooling problem on which you would like our views, if you would be good enough to fill in our data sheet as far as possible, two copies of which are attached, we believe that we can help you, as we have sufficient information available for this purpose. Yours faithfully, CLAYTON DEWANDRE CO. LTD (S.E. WILLETT) JOINT GENERAL MANAGER | ||
