| x340 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.17/KW.4.1.36. Enamel for Radiator Matrix. If we change to a radiator with grille or dummy shutters either on Bentley or Ph.II or 20/25, it will be necessary to treat the matrix with a dull black finish paint, as mentioned in E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/MN.23.12.35. We understand that you have some of this paint, and would like you to treat the radiators of 33-EX and 6-B-IV with it in order to see if any trouble is experienced with flaking off under running conditions.
