For the attention of Mr. Steadman. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 15th inst., and confirm our telephonic conversation regarding the items referred to in this letter as follows :- Spacing of the Bentley III Dummy Shutter may be modified in order to make the Bentley II and Bentley III Shutter Stiffeners interchangeable. You are to send a new drawing in connection with this. The shutter vane section is to have a gap of approximately .025" without affecting the angle of the turnover. This is being attended to. We note your remarks regarding the width dimension of the radiator matrices E.B.3513, which will be corrected on production.
