| X240. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} c.-Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} re Bentley New Shape Radiator. We send you herewith Lec.3507, showing the above radiator with the Vee front altered to 20°, to improve the appearance. The grille is similar to our last design and made up with chromium plated slats. We have increased the width of the top tank by .1" in order to give a larger radius at the corners, to facilitate pressing. The amount of room in front of the radiator is such that should we at some future time revert to shutters they can be accommodated. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} Drawing to BY.{R.W.
