| EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} from Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} X 3035 Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 21/NJ28.7.24. X.3035 - Battery Thermometers. Referring to yours EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T12.7.24, we are in receipt of a letter from Peto & Radford acknowledging return of the 4 thermometers which you found to be inconveniently large and stating they find that no mistake has been made in the exe(Aero Engine)cution of our order, as the instruments supplied are identical with the illustration in the booklet which is issued with our batteries, and are of a type exactly similar to those used by them (Peto & Radford) in their Works. They state that they have found these thermometers quite satisfactory in service and suggest that the 4 which we have returned to them should be re-delivered to us. Before replying to Peto & Radford, I shall be glad to have your remarks on this matter. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} | ||
