Hanbury - Head Complaints} /8250 CWB11/GM/4-2-27. PHANTOM RADIATOR With reference to Dal/M227 I think your proposal in paragraph 4 most excellent, i.e. that Sales model should be left as it is and an entire new model made to drawing N.SchdN. 2350. I sent up to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} two other bodies of radiators,-[handwritten]in wood 1. The existing radiator. 2. An intermediate type which was discarded, and I suggest making a new top with the latter, so that we shall then have the three models. 1. Our original radiator. 2. Sales proposal, and 3. N. SchdN. 2350. With these three models we should be able to arrive at a decision very quickly. I am very glad indeed to learn that we all now agree that the very thick radiator is unsightly.
