| X4240 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from BJ. BJ8/H5.1.22. Goshawk Radiator. It has not yet been decided exactly what type of radiator shall be supplied to the Goshawk and whether it shall be have rounded edges. I am not sure on what date you expect to place the order for these radiators, but if the matter is urgent we should receive samples of the radiators here in time to give our opinion and get the matter settled. Mr. Royce wrote to C.J. on the 3rd as follows:- "We are trying the Goshawk radiator with a top tank pressed in one piece with rounded corners and very small radius, then Sales will choose between this and our old difficult hand-fitted sharp cornered scheme."
