Bleaney - Bentley Sales} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 12/KT. 26.10.32. Houghton James' Car. Rembrandt Hotel. With reference to PN.{Mr Northey}3/WTL9.10.32. We have a radiator with the small hexagon tubes available for this chassis in the Expl. Dept. Unfortunately it is the latest type radiator and so is one inch higher than the one fitted to 102-GN which is to LOP.E.77675. Another feature is that this radiator has a bottom tank suitable for central point radiator mounting. The best way to deal with the job is to take the radiator off 102-GN at the Works, and fit the small Hexagon matrix to its top and bottom tank. The Repair Dept. could give you a quotation for the work involved, and we will hand the radiator over to them if it is decided to proceed with the job.
