| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. c. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} c. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.3/MH.{M. Huckerby}23.4.38. PH.III MK.V RADIATOR MATRICES - A SERIES CARS. In view of the fact that out of 171 chassis fitted with the original Mk.V matrices, approximately 70 have had reconditioned matrices fitted, we think that it is advisable to change the remaining 100 Mk.V matrices for reconditioned ones as soon as conveniently possible. This could be done automatically as A series cars, with the Mk.V matrices, come into service depots, and customers might also be requested to bring their cars in for this change if there are any signs of incipient overheating or if they are contemplating taking them abroad. It must be borne in mind that only a limited supply of these reconditioned matrices will be available. Will Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} please obtain a definite promise from Messrs. Marstons as to what they can do in this matter. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
