Our Ref. KMP/OH. 29th April 1939. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Robotham. We thank you for your letter of the 28th instant. We shall be pleased to see your representative any time the middle of next week to discuss the thermostatic header tank relief valve which you are contemplating using in a pressure cooled Bentley system. Perhaps you will be good enough to telephone us the day before to let us know what time your representative will call. We think, from your remarks, that we have not got your latest drawing, for we pointed out to Mr. F.J.Hardy when he shewed us the suggestion which we had been criticising, the reason why it would not work. Yours faithfully, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO.,LTD., K.{Mr Kilner} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Petter. | ||
