Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.8/MH. {M. Huckerby} Experimental Dept. DATE 10th September, 1938. hWR/SMO Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., D E R B Y. For the attention of Mr. C. S. Steadman. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter of the 8th inst. with regard to particulars required for the Marston Mk.VI block, we may mention that we were only interested in the weights of the two radiators as tested. We are quite conversant with the construction of the Marston Mk.VI block, but, at the present time, we have no accurate figures for weights. We were under the impression that the experimental radiator supplied to you would be lighter in weight than the Marston Mk.VI radiator which you are now using. It is for this reason that we should like to have the weights of the complete radiators as tested. Thanking you in anticipation for this information, we remain, Yours faithfully, SERCK RADIATORS LIMITED, [Signature: A M Martin] Technical Research. | ||
