| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X 258 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/KT.25/KW.3.5.34. Will you please let us know the weight of the radiator grille to LEC.3865 at present fitted up to a Bentley radiator now in the shop. We should like the figure for this part at the first available opportunity, so that we may see what is the saving in weight by the fitting of this type of grille instead of radiator shutters.
