To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ----------------- ROY{Sir Henry Royce}8/MG18.10.32 ----------------- Radiators Attached is sample section of a film block Radiator, Searle, which I understand the Searle Radiator Company have supplied to Bentleys, Lancias etc. Apparently this is an old type Orme Evans Radiator, as fitted to the Rolls cars in the early years, and I believe by no means as efficient as either our present standard honeycomb or the Marston film we are now negotiating, but I am sending you this sample so that you can see exaftly what Bentleys were fitting. The Searle Company advise that they are bringing out in a month or so an improved film block, lighter in weight, more efficient, and cheaper, and I am expecting a sample of this in due course.
