| 20aa{D. Abbot-Anderson} To FHC. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.22/JH.30.10.36; Matrix for Bentley Bump Radiator. We wish to modify our instructions as mentioned in Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.11/JH.22.10.36. We wish to bump a Mark VI 52 m.m. matrix of lightened construction (we have handed this matrix to the shop). We also wish to examine the matrix which has run 15,000 miles on 6-B-IV. Will you therefore carry out the following. (1) Remove 52 m.m. Mark VI matrix unit (comprises matrix and top and bottom tanks) from 6-B-IV. radiator (this is at present on bench in shop ) and replace it by the standard unit which we will hand to you. (2) Remove the top and bottom tanks from this 52 m.m. Mark VI matrix off 6-B-IV, and hand the matrix to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. for inspection. (3) Fit the top and bottom tanks off 6-B-IV's matrix to the new lightened 52 m.m. matrix and fit the unit so formed to the bump chassis radiator. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
