| - 5 - Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}7/GH.13.3.40. Continued:- Water capacity was, however, increased, being 2¾ pints. Morris's promised to let us have costs for production radiators and Experimental radiators made up in the fin and tube and the film type, and also requested a detailed arrangement drawing giving all leading dimensions. This latter has been completed by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. and as soon as prints are available a copy will be forwarded. Mr. Hull was very enthusiastic about their chromium plating, and claimed that they could make an economical proposition of a chromium plated Rolls-Royce radiator shell. It was agreed, therefore, that we should send them prints of the Ripple shell and this could then be compared with a similar chromium plated shell made by John Marstons, as fitted to the Ripple. There was unfortunately, not time to see Morris's test plant as the arrival at Oxford was considerably delayed by the previous visits in the morning. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L.
