LTD/DLD 103-105-107-109, SCRUBS LANE, WILLESDEN, LONDON, N.W.10. 24th September 1935. For the attention of Mr. Ellor and Mr. Dor{Mr Dorey}é Messrs.Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Dear Sirs, re: AIRCRAFT RADIATORS ETC. In addition to the samples of radiator cores we have sent you specially designed for aircraft, we desire to put before you our non-erodible type of radiator core (Patent No.398,110) which is rapidly taking the place of film types. A 50 m/m core of this type is equal to 70 m/m of the film type. The use of this system of cooling is not restricted to motor car radiators and it can be used on aircraft, stationary engines, etc. Important firms such as Messrs.Morris, Messrs.Austin, and many others have tested and approved same and Messrs. Morris have now produced more than 100,000 cars equipped with our system. Messrs.Austin and Messrs.Guy have supplied the War Office with vehicles equipped with our radiator cores and in each case these were used with satisfactory results to replace a very expensive type of radiator core. In addition to super-efficiency our radiator core is inherently strong and non-erodible as it is completely immersed in tin alloy. We shall be pleased to supply you with samples in order | ||
