Dear Breedon,

I am returning to you today, under separate cover, sections and samples of oil coolers which you sent me with your letter of the 24th. MAY.

The section one, is of course, similar to the samples which I gave you to practice on originally.

It is a fairly convenient dimension to instal if we had a figure for the heat dissipating characteristics of one element we could design it into our marine range.

The tooling seems so small that one could really make the plates any shape to suit the job if one had a reasonable quantity.

I am mystified about Caserta's letter because I sent it and the sample coolers which you hydrogen brazed on the 30th March last, as I told you in my letter of the 25th.

Yours sincerely,
