| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 4240 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.3/KW.26.3.35. Bentley Radiator Tests. In connection with the radiator comparisons which we propose to carry out shortly at Brooklands we shall require a radiator with the 58 m.m. Harrison Vee matrix, which has been recently standardised. The radiator which you recently removed from 5-B-IV is such a radiator, but it has been handed to production and been stripped - it is now minus shell, shutters and fittings and thermostat. Will you please have it rebuilt so that we can run it on a car. It need not have either shutters or thermostat for the purpose of our tests. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
