| Radiators 1280 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}2/GH.5.4.40. 5th April 1940. Messrs. Morris Motors Ltd., Radiator Division, OXFORD. Dear Sirs, FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. HULL. ----------------------- With reference to our recent visit to your Works when we discussed the chromium plating of radiator shells, you will no doubt recall that we promised to let you have details of a Rolls-Royce radiator shell which should like to have fabricated in sheet material chromium plated. We are, therefore, enclosing the following drawings for your attention, and should be very glad if you would arrange to make up an experimental shell which we could try. B.W.2234 - Front plate. E.W.2235 - Back Plate and Rest Angle. R.E.2236 - Head plate. R.E.397 - Side plate L.H. B.W.398 - Side plate R.H. R.E.399 - Arrangement of Ripplet Shell. We are also enclosing prints of the rough curves we showed you, but would like to emphasis that we do not consider these figures as very accurate and they should be treated with some reserve, as a guide however they are useful. - continued. - | ||
