| two RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.1/MA.20.3.35. BENTLEY RADIATOR WITH REDUCED MATRIX AREA. You have constructed a Bentley radiator for us with a special small matrix (6" shorter than standard) together with the necessary fittings and this was to have been fitted to 5.B.IV. As 5.B.IV has the centrally mounted radiator and wing scheme however, we should like this radiator fitted to the streamline car B.23AE. Will you therefore please fit this radiator to B.23AE while this car is in the shop. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
