Dear Sirs, Re:- RADIATORS and TANKS, etc. We enclose herewith extract from the Royal Aircraft Factory report, showing the advantage of the "Gallay" system of tube block in comparison with every other similar type of tube block which the Royal Aircraft Factory tested. In addition, we desire to point out that for over ten years we manufactured every Bentley radiator, and in all their years experience of racing on road and track, there was not one single instance of failure with regard to any component we supplied. Some time ago, we fitted one of your radiators with a "Gallay" type of block and we believe it gave you every satisfaction after being tested at Brooklands, etc. Our prices for tube blocks made under our system will show at least 50% saving on 7 m/m round tube, and we shall be pleased to supply you with either tube blocks or complete radiators. We also specialise in Petrol Tanks and Light-Alloy experimental work. Trusting to be favoured with your esteemed enquiries. We remain, Yours faithfully, for. GALLAY RADIATOR CO. LTD L.
