When we were discussing the question of adopting the new type radiator in which the shutters are carried by the side plates of the radiator itself, we handed you a list of particulars, copy of which we attach herewith, showing the proposed radiator fell short of the present standard in regard to heating surface. Our recollection of the matter was that you are in agreement with us increasing the radiator by adding 1/4" to the length of the tube, which brought us approximately on the new radiator to the same position as exists on the old one. We are issuing a drawing to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} for a radiator covering the proposals in question. The memo is merely to inform you that this actually is taking place and upon hearing that you are satisfied at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town then we consider we should be at liberty to standardize the new radiator at a good time in advance of our requirements for a further series being instructed.
