LTD/ID. 103/105, Scrubbs Lane, Willesden, London, N.W.10. 26th August, 1932. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, Re. Radiator Blocks. Before making any final arrangements, we strongly recommend you to study the latest type of Chausson Gallay radiator blocks, and we shall be pleased to give you a letter of introduction to our laboratories at Paris which are now used officially by the French Government. You will therefore see all the latest types of radiator blocks, and be able to make an exact comparison as to efficiency and cost of production, etc. As you are aware, the French standard of efficiency has to be extremely high, as these radiator blocks are supplied for use in North Africa and tropical regions, and their efficiency has to be a sine qua non. With regard to our indestructible 'Hercule' Thermostat, we, as radiator manufacturers having used almost every other type, can strongly recommend these to you. Yours faithfully, for. GALLAY RADIATOR CO., LTD. L. F.{Mr Friese} Delany Handwritten notes: Top Left: Ho/Pru your matter checked By Top Center: X45.16. Stamps: RECEIVED 29 AUG 1932 | ||
