10th. January 1933.

Messrs. John Marsden Ltd.,
Paul Street Works,
Wolverhampton.

For the attention of Mr. Dalrymple.

Dear Sirs,

We have today received the two 20/25 HP. car radiators fitted with Mark 11 blocks.

We are very surprised to find that rectangular blocks are fitted similar to the first ones which you built up for special comparative tests with the Harrison matrix.

They should of course have been fitted with complete Mark 111 blocks in accordance with our letters Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}3/MA. of December 10th., and Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}11/MJ. of December 14th.

We shall be glad to receive your remarks on this discrepancy at the earliest moment.

Yours faithfully,

For Rolls-Royce Ltd.

P.S. We are returning the two radiators to you today.
