| 1280 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.17/MH. {M. Huckerby} 30 30th. August 1937. Messrs. John Marston Ltd., Wolverhampton. For the attention of Mr. Dunn. Dear Sir, We are to-day forwarding to you one Bentley radiator matrix which seemd deficient as regards cooling. We would like you to flow test it and give us comparative results with a new standard Mk V matrix as soon as you conveniently can. The writer is still waiting to hear from you as regards:- (a) Quotation of your version of the Bentley radiator. (b) Practicability of making Wraith radiator shell in brass, chromium plated. We are arranging to return to you any unused hand soldered oil coolers which we have in stock, and wish you to correct these to the dip soldered type by dipping. When this has been done will you please return them to us, marked "For the attention of Mr. Steadman", so that we can satisfy ourselves as to their soundness. We are returning to you one oil cooler (hand soldered type) No. E278, which has failed in service, and we have already sent you a used hand soldered cooler which is sound. Will you dip solder both of these coolers and return them marked "For the attention of Mr. Steadman", as soon as possible. | ||
