For the attention of Mr. Dunn. Dear Sirs, Confirming our telephone conversation of last night, the fourth radiator ordered under our Order No. 79512 is to be a Bentley V standard unit, as per the drawings for which you have supplied production quotations, except for the following:- (1) No shell or grille is required - the inner radiator only to be supplied with its fittings. (2) The matrix is to be 1.000" less in overall height than the Bentley V drawings indicate - this will necessitate straps etc. 1" shorter. (3) The yoke, straps and all steel parts are to be in Duralumin wherever possible. (4) Top tank modified to a drawing which we will send you within a day or so. We would like to receive the complete unit within three weeks from this date - if you can expedite the delivery still further we shall be obliged if you will do so. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
