| To By/NS.{Norman Scott} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.5/AP.16.10.37. 340 Will you please give us as soon as possible a scheme for a 4" deep Radiator matrix on Ph.III. instead of the present 3.305 (84 MM.) one. This scheme should be as simple as possible and should involve the minimum number of new parts i.e. modified top tank, matrix frame, matrix, side plates and bottom tank, with small modifications to existing yoke. This scheme is only needed in order to settle definitely what we can gain by going to a deeper matrix, and will not be run for any length of time on a car - consideration of strength of the yoke etc. will therefore not enter into the matter.
