| X240 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.3/MA.18.5.34. Will you please have a set of standard Bentley radiator top and bottom tanks and necessary fittings dispatched to Messrs.John Marston Ltd., Paul Street Works, Wolverhampton, so that they can fit up a 58 mm. Harrison Vee bonded matrix radiator for the next 10,000 miles Bentley. In writing our memo ref.Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.17/MA.9.5.34., we were under the impression that special narrow tanks for this type matrix were in existence - this however is not the case; but standard parts can be used.
