| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KT.25.9.33. RADIATOR FOR "VULTURE" - LeC.3639. With reference to E.4/HP.21.9.33. We have examined this and as far as we can see from the LeC. the matrix dimensions will be 27 x 22 x 3.100". We think that with these dimensions and the Harrison radiator, the cooling of the car will be no worse than that of our existing standard Phantom that we are at present selling, which has a radiator with indented hexagon copper tubes. We think that the depth of the matrix could with advantage be increased to 3.300". This becomes an 84 mm. depth which is a standard size and which is the one, a Marston type, we are at present using on the Bentley.
