| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS8/P.3.6.36. 25/30-HP Chassis Radiators. M2 Series We have still to order for 'M2' Series 150 Radiator Matrices Mark III Type. This type of matrix is fitted with a cast gunmetal plate at each side. We understand you have on test a radiator fitted with sheet metal plates in place of cast gunmetal plates, and shall be glad if you will advise whether it is possible for you to release the matrix fitted with sheet metal plates for production on the above chassis, as this means a saving of £1.0.0d. per chassis. at least Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
