March, 1915. Re bumping test of Marston round tube honeycomb ratiator. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}3/L27315. I am pleased to see that the Marston round tube radiator will serve our purpose well. I should think that it would be worth while to carry this radiator comparison test a little further, say by using 3" bumps. I hope we can make this particular radiator stand, as the great saving of 20 lbs. is extremely important, especially as it is so very far forward. You will notice that the saving in this radiator and the rear springs, will more than allow for the fitting of the self starter in weight, and the weight of the self-starter is in a better position.
