| Radiators 1280 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}2/GH.27.4.40. 27th April 1940. Messrs. Morris Motors Ltd., (Radiator Division) OXFORD. Dear Sirs, FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. ROBINSON. ----------------------------------- Further to our recent letter we are sending you herewith an amended print of our NR.583. This has been drawn after checking up of your drawing SK.538 in which we have found the following points:- 1. The steam escape pipe in the position shown on your drawing fouls the bonnet. 2. The filler cap will require to be of the R-R type and we are arranging to send you one of this together with a steam valve. 3. The standard B.V. width of tank as shown in our drawing is the maximum, which should be used, as otherwise clearances are reduced to very fine limits. Other than the above points the arrangement appears satisfactory and we should be glad if you would now proceed with the radiator. We should like to point out that up to the present we have not received any cost figures and we should be extremely interested to know what these are. Yours faithfully, for, ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
