| X 6003 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.12/KW. 2nd July, 1936. Messrs. H.M. Hobson Components Ltd., 47-55, The Vale, Acton, LONDON, W.3. For the attention of Mr. T.P.Seawright. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your prompt reply to our enquiry of June 26th. We should be interested in testing this instrument, even with the bulb element of foreign manufacture, and would like you to forward the single water temperature recording instrument on loan for test purposes, as suggested by yourselves. The instrument should be calibrated in degrees Centigrade, and should be of single type as mentioned above. We should like you to give us some idea of the cost of these instruments, in quantities of, say, 200 at a time. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
