Re.HARRISON RADIATOR MATRIX BLOCKS. We have on order two Harrison matrix blocks for Phantom II radiators. These matrix blocks are waiting at Marstons for the top and bottom tank fittings. We should be glad if you could urge these, they were instructed on 6.1.33. In addition, there are two Harrison blocks for Bensport 58 mm. thick, will you please make up the necessary top and bottom tanks etc. and despatch them to Marstons. The Harrison matrix question is becoming urgent as this type of matrix will shortly be manufactured in this country and the question of tools etc. for manufacture depends on the thicknesses of matrix which we shall require, we cannot decide on this until we have tested out, the radiators which are waiting at Marstons for Shells.
