| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} Radiators Under present arrangements we are fitting the Marston English type Matrix to the 40/50 HP. Continental Chassis, and the previous standard, i.e., Tubular type, to the 40/50 HP. Long Chassis. It is now necessary to order further supplies of Radiators for the Long type Chassis. Shall we be safe, please, in proceeding with the Marston English made Matrix? This is so much cheaper than the tube, and, I gather, more efficient and lighter. As far as the American type Bentley Matrices are concerned, the two samples you require for experimental purposes were delivered on the 26th instant, and I understand are now in the hands of the Experimental Shop.
