Chassis - Radiator matrix. --------------------------------- With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.1/JH.9.1.36. we do not consider it advisable to introduce the modified construction of the radiator shell as suggested by the Works in order to reduce cost until same has been tested and proved out experimentally. We have already issued instructions to the Experimental Department to produce a radiator with the modified construction and present standard matrix. If you require us to do anything further with the 58 m/m.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} matrix no doubt you will let us know.
