We hand you herewith a Bentley Radiator which was contructed by Messrs. John Marston Ltd., as a unit to replace our standard radiator. Unfortunately, the makers did not allow sufficient thread in the supporting yoke to accomodate the centre holding down stud. When this was screwed in it pierced the bottom tank. Will you please strip the radiator so that we can examine the workmanship, design etc., repair the puncture in the bottom tank, re-assemble and hand complete radiator to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.
