Bentley 'Cornich' Radiator.

We have been in communication with the makers in connection with this radiator, and the principle points are :-

(1) No straps fitted around matrix, and connection to yoke made by sweating angle strips to the matrix in place of the usual flat side pieces.

(2) Duralumin yoke and cross stays, these latter running diagonally front and rear.

(3) Support strips from top tank to matrix omitted.

(4) Top tank lowered by 1.0".

Otherwise the radiator is standard B.V. construction.
