| R.L.D. N/W. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. STD Br {T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} /G1/M. 14.4.37. re, Tech. - Radiator Matrices. We received a P.III to-day, with a complaint of overheating in traffic. We have examined the Matrix, and find this to be stamped Mk. {R. E. B. Meade King} VI. We compared the flow of this with one of the Matrices just received from RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} , and it is identical. The three Matrices we have in stock are not actually stamped Mk. {R. E. B. Meade King} VI, although we presume of course that they are. Will you please let us know by return if there are distinguishing marks to differentiate the Mk. {R. E. B. Meade King} V and Mk. {R. E. B. Meade King} VI Matrices, other than the individual Serial Nos. and the Piece Nos. Br {T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} /GG | ||
