| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. 340 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.10/AP.21.5.37 We hand you herewith a Ph.III. radiator matrix unit - will you please arrange to remove the side plates and also the first two airway strips on each side of the matrix block. We wish to do this in order to see if we can materially lower the underbonnet temperature by admitting cool air at the side of the matrix - we shall test this out at Brooklands.
