Firstly the Bentley radiator which you have returned in order that the modified strengthening attachment can be fitted, has been received this afternoon and we will proceed immediately with the fitting of the new attachment. This will only take a day or so. Our quotations for Matrices to E.W.1161 with side plates to E.W.1178 will be sent to you later in the week. We have also received your official order No. 44683 for three of these Matrices manufactured in various thicknesses of strip. We are proceeding with the tests on the Phantom III Mark VI Matrix which you returned to us in order to check up the apparent heavy loss in dissipation. Our quotations are also being prepared for your Wraith Inner Radiators and Shell, and we are also preparing a sample for your approval. We note your remarks with regard to the Phantom III Mark VI Matrix which was dipped with a bottom tank. This is being examined and our comments will be sent to you shortly. (continued) | ||
