| X114 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/KW. 11th March, 1936. Messrs. Lendrum & Hartman Ltd., Buick House, 26b, Albemarle St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, LONDON, W.1. Dear Sirs, We shall be very much indebted to you if you could give us your experience with the Buick tubular type of oil cooler in service. We have heard from various people that these coolers slum up after about 15,000 miles' running, and thereafter are ineffective. Any information you can give us will be treated as strictly confidential, the reason we are interested in it being that a similar type of device is being fitted to our Ph.III car. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
