Messrs John Marston Ltd., WOLVERHAMPTON. For the attention of Mr.Dunn. Dear Sirs, This is to confirm the following points which were decided with Mr.Dunn on Saturday last, May 29th inst. (1) You are arranging investigations to decide exactly what limits are practicable as regards external dimensions, water flow and waterway size, in all our radiator matrices. You will communicate with our Mr.Goodall when the results of this investigation are obtained - meanwhile we are accepting the minimum waterway sizes which he gave to Mr. Goodall and Mr.Bowers, and are having suitable gauges made. (2) You will make up a further set of dummy radiator shutters for our Bentley radiator with - (a) Corrected opening angle. (b) Stiffened section. (c) Stiffened material. We shall do our very best to let you have the radiator and shell for these shutters within the next few days and would like to receive the radiator back with an absolute minimum of delay as the radiator has to be fitted to a car which is leaving for France on June 14th. (3) We are endeavouring to arrange to let you have a Bentley shell shaping block when your van visits the Works on Wednesday. However, the top tank pressing is not likely to be ready by then. continued | ||
