Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr Steadman. Dear Sirs, OIL COOLER TRIALS. With reference to recent correspondence regarding Oil Cooler Trials, we now have pleasure in enclosing herewith our report on these. The Coolers certainly failed to meet your requirements. It would appear that the physical strength of Oil Coolers is of importance, and it may be this lack of physical strength which has been the cause of the trouble. Yours faithfully, CLAYTON DEWANDRE CO. LTD. S.E. Willett COMMERCIAL MANAGER | ||
