Bailey - Chief Engineer} Steadman - 1280 It is difficult to believe that all the Exp. matrices received were O.K. CHASSIS RADIATOR MATRICES. We have recently found it necessary to reject 131 out of a total of 143 Matrices supplied for 25/30 owing to water-ways being partially blocked. Consequently we arranged for Messrs. Goodall and Bowers to visit Marstons to go into the whole question of inspection and manufacture. Attached is a copy of their report. Attached: Copy of RHC {R. H.
