| 1278 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/MH.{M. Huckerby} 15th. September 1938. The Harrison Radiator Division, General Motors Corporation, Lockport, NEW YORK, U.S.A. For the attention of Mr.L.P.Saunders. Dear Mr.Saunders, As rather a long time has passed without our usual request for information I think it is time to remedy this state of affairs, and am therefore asking you if you could let us have some curves of matrix heat dissipation against thickness of matrix (say from 2 to 4½") for - (a) your 20 x 55 constant matrix, and (b) your 18 x 62 constant matrix. We are anxious to get these figures to assist us for design of radiators which we are carrying out, and also for comparison with the figures which are obtainable on the matrices which we use in production. Anything you can do to help us in this direction will be appreciated, and if our Mr.Llewelyn Smith, who we believe is calling on you while he is in America, has not already done so perhaps you would be good enough to let him have this information to bring back. Best regards, Yours faithfully, | ||
