| VS{J. Vickers}940 Epl: Dept: Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Angleterre. 14th. Mar. 1925. Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. Mr. Lidsey from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We have despatched to you a new radiator to be fitted to 98-NK car. This radiator has a different inlet at the top which we hope will overcome the trouble of the loss of water. We should like you to fit this as soon as possible and let us know the results. It is probable that early next week we shall send you another set of pistons which we think will be better for keeping down the oil consumption. We should first of all like you to obtain records of oil consumption with the new pistons you have just fitted. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
