| X240 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.1/MA. 18th May, 1934. Messrs. John Marston Ltd., Paul Street, Works, Wolverhampton. For the attention of Mr. Dalrymple. Dear Sir, We are sending you a set of parts (top and bottom water tanks etc.,) for a Bentley car radiator. We should like you to fit these parts up with a 58 mm thick Harrison Vee bonded matrix - the tanks having been designed for your standard 84 mm Marston Mark III Matrix will overlap the Harrison matrix to the extent of approximately 1". This will not matter, but we should like you to locate the matrix symmetrically about the centre line of the tanks so that they overlap the matrix by an equal amount (1/2" approx.) each side. We should like this carried out with the minimum of delay as this radiator will be fitted to our next 10,000 miles test car. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
