| +40 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.21/KW. 26th October, 1934. Messrs. John Marston Ltd., Paul Street Works, Wolverhampton. For the attention of Mr. Dalrymple. Dear Sirs, Further to our letter of yesterday with regard to fitting the matrix to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1570 to the Bentley radiator we are sending you; this will necessitate removing the side plates from the matrix of this radiator, shortening them by 6.60" and refitting them to the new matrix, together with the top and bottom tanks from the old matrix, which work we should like you to carry out. Please note that the shortening of the side plates should be done at the bottom ends of these plates, in order to leave the fixings for the shell intact as far as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
