| XH693 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KT. February 1st 1933. Messrs Lendrum & Hartman Ltd, Buick House, 26b & c, Albemarle St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, London. W.1. Dear Sirs, We rang up your Albemarle office on Tuesday Dec.31st, and asked if you could supply us with a Buick oil cooler complete. On the latest Buick this is fitted between the water pump and the cylinder block. The exact size of cooler, or to the model to which it is fitted, does not matter to us, as long as we know the H.P. of the engine to which it is fitted. Our object in obtaining this cooler is to carry out some experimental tests in order to establish its efficiency. We should be very pleased, should you be able to oblige us, if you would send off the cooler, together with the invoice, at once. Thanking you in anticipation, We are, Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
