Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. Ms. x.3727 x.1066 RADIATORS. -------- Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY20-P1.3.21. RECEIVED MAR 1921 Referring to Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 8/NJ28221, we have ordered sufficient tubes 8 mm diameter with the ends expanded to 9½ mm to produce three radiators in our own works, and have done this after consulting Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and pointing out to him that it was considered there would be a distinct advantage in using tubes 8 mm in the body and 9½ mm at the end, for our original proposition of 8 mm. body and 9 mm. expanded ends. Ms. will no doubt be able to tell us how soon the tubes in question will be delivered. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
