| X NO RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.5/MA.17.5.34. RADIATORS FOR BROOKLANDS TESTS ON B23AE. Referring to our memo Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.6/MA.3.5.34., we have already tested the radiator grille mentioned and find that since the radiator mounting is of the old two point type on B23AE, the 58 mm. Harrison radiator at present in the shop can be fitted without alteration. Will you therefore carry out the following :- (1) Fit the above mentioned 58 mm Harrison radiator to this car. (2) Fit standard radiator shutters and thermostat control to radiator at present fitted to B23AE car, in place of radiator grille. This car is at present in shop for two or three days so that we should like these alterations made while you have the car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
