| To CJ. from EH. c. to R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. c. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} X.53 EHL/LG13.3.19. 13th March 1919. At your request we attach herewith notes regarding the use of benzol and benzol mixtures on the R.R. chassis, which we consider, might be circulated to our Customers. You will notice that we mention that the necessary plates and bolts for blanking off a portion of the radiator will be supplied to the Customers by Rolls-Royce. I have a recollection that this was agreed to some considerable time ago and I certainly think it would pay us to send to our Customers the necessary plates and bolts which ought not to cost more than two or three shillings per set. Unless we do this there is great risk of serious damage being done to the radiator. EH. H.R. 235A (500 T) (S.D. 408. 26-4-17) Bm. 2/156/13. | ||
