Cochrane Esq. With reference to your C5/C29.7.31 and Ey/Cghl/EB30.7.31, we consider that the standard dented tube radiator proposed in conjunction with the louvred bonnet will prevent Mr. Cochrane having overheating trouble. In any event, we have nothing else to offer him yet as the new hexagon tube has not yet been standardised nor have we a supply of such tubes available.
