| 1280 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FJH {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 9/R. 16th February, 1939. Messrs. John Marsten Ltd., WOLVERHAMPTON. (For the attention of Mr. Steadman.) Dear Sirs, We herewith enclose the following prints:- Bentley V. {VIENNA} Radiator. Shell. EB.4629 - 3 sheets. Top Water Tank. EB.3783. Bottom Water Tank. EB.3788. Yoke. EB.3983. Shutter Stiffner. EB.4619. Installation of P.III Rig Engine. Layout of Test Bed. J.12534. Rear Engine Suspension. J.12531. Front " " J.12712. The only exhaust silencer we can offer you for the P.III engine is a 20/25 H.P. type. This will reduce the output somewhat, but similar silencers were used on the test beds for the first year of P.III development. We can find no record of our yet having ordered the radiator for our chassis 4.B.50. If we have done so, will you please hold up this radiator in view of the possibility of a narrower shell being required. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
