Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of the 29th instant, the samples sent you are untouched by hand in order that you may ascertain the inherent strength of our system. On the Sopwith Dolphin machine regarding which we sent you the Royal Aircraft Factory Report, we have seen many instances of crashes in which the radiators had to bear terrific impact strain without affecting same in any way. With our construction the block is essentially the strongest part of the radiator, when complete. Concerning efficiency a test of the Gallay block in one of your cases will demonstrate this is to your entire satisfaction. We are, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, GALLAY RADIATOR CO.LTD. L.
