We are having a certain amount of trouble with fans on this car and think that we could quickly obtain some useful information by trying our some fans as fitted to American cars of similar engine capacity. Could you obtain for us a Chrysler 6. fan (3¼" x 4¼" engine) and a Terraplane Eight fan and also let us know the distance from the leading edge of the fan blade to the rear face of the radiator matrix in each case? Thank you for your note of the 10th inst, work is proceeding on your car quite well, we will have the body Simonized and generally cleaned up. I do not think I shall be coming up to the R.A.F. Pageant this year. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
