| Vile 1280 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Ed. {J. L. Edwards} 1/GH.26.1.40. 26th January 1940. Messrs. Searle Radiator Ltd., 53 Bayham Street, Hampdon Town, LONDON N. W. 1. Dear Sirs, We learn from our Aero Division at Hucknall that they have been carrying out a number of radiator tests with matrices of our design. We should be very interested to try some of these blocks on our Bentley Motor car, and we are enclosing herewith drawings, PD.164/5 which we consider, give you sufficient information to allow you to construct a top and bottom tank and matrix assembly. There are probably several points which could be discussed and we suggest that your representative call on us some time next week, with a view to talking the job over. If you communicate with our Mr. Edwards, a convenient date could easily be fixed. Yours faithfully, DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
