This is to confirm that you are going to let us know the latest date when you will have to order material for the second 100 of 'C' Series in order to maintain continuity of production. Will you also please note that the Thermostat scheme for the P.III which keeps the shutters fully open need not be detailed, as you will see from our report that we do not think it is worth proceeding with.
