AF/ID. 103/105, Scrubbs Lane, Willesden, LONDON, N.W.10. 1st September, 1932. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Attention of Mr. Robotham. Dear Sirs, Re. THERMOSTATS. With further reference to our letter dated the 23rd ultimo, and your request to the writer at the time of his interview with you to give you data on the subject of the temperature at which our Thermostat starts to operate, and the temperature at which it is fully open. If you will kindly let us have the temperature at which you require the thermostat to operate we will again get into touch with our French factory and ask them to make up a thermostat to your requirements, for you to test out. Naturally if you decide to put this thermostat as a standard, it would be manufactured in this country, of British material. Trusting that we shall be favoured with your esteemed reply in the course of the next post or so, which shall have our very best attention. Yours faithfully, for. GALLAY RADIATOR CO., LTD. | ||
