| X396 To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}8/KT.6.9.33. re. MARSTON MADE HARRISON VEE RADIATOR CORE. With reference to ROY{Sir Henry Royce}9/MG29.8.33. we are now in a position to state the minimum thickness of radiator matrix of the Harrison type required for the Bentley car. Will you please order, therefore, for test, two Wolverhampton made matrix blocks 70 mm. thick, but otherwise to the same dimension as the present Mark III matrix being supplied for Bentley cars. These thinner matrix blocks will fit in the existing top and bottom tanks with slight modifications; but as we hope soon to use them on production, will 'E' please look into the question of altering the top and bottom tanks to take advantage of the saving in weight which the narrower matrix gives us.
