RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.9.38. 8.B.V. RADIATOR. As this car may be the one B.III car to run 15,000 miles prior to B.III going on production, we wish it to run with the correct matrix unit in it. Accordingly, we are arranging with Messrs. Marstons to produce an up-to-date unit and wish you to hand the radiator complete to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. as soon as the car goes into the fitting shop. We will arrange to return same to Marstons, have new unit fitted and hand same to shop as soon as this is done. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
