| Messrs. J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} Marston Ltd. -2- 15th. July 1933. Will you please scrap the obsolete LOP and certain details at present in your possession - with the details attached you should now have a complete set of drawings for the Bentley 50 radiator. Will you please note that a new altered detail of the top tank EB.5783 is attached and old print under same piece number should be scrapped. We are asking our Order Office to ask you for an official quotation for the Bentley 50 and Bentley III radiators as per samples supplied and to the drawings which you have - the figures should be for the complete radiator but with certain items as per list of parts supplied by us. Enclosed please find prints EB.3416 and IB.3661 which show the modified shutter assembly and centre stiffener for the Bentley II dummy shutter sets with .4375 centre shutter gap, for which you are making the necessary drill jigs. Will you please scrap the old drawings as soon as you complete the jigs and change over in production.. With regard to the oil cooler built in the special manner, we have been considering, we would like to have this for test as soon as possible, if the question of building the remainder of the replacement coolers in this manner is to be feasible. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
