| ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1066 BY/EM10/K.{Mr Kilner} 26. 7. 29. SPECIAL RADIATOR TUBES. The Experimental Dept. inform us that they wish to have sufficient of the new type of radiator tubes giving an increased water space to fit up 50 chassis. The Piece Nos. of the tubes in question are:- E.79320 - 140 off per chassis. E.79321 - 10,100 Will you kindly place on order the requisite amount of tubes as soon as possible. We have been in touch with Kynochs over the telephone, and they inform us that they will do their best to effect deliveries of some of these tubes before they close down for their holidays next weekend. This however will depend upon whether they have any material left from the previous small experimental order which we placed with them. BY/EM. | ||
