With reference to Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/MsS/FJ24.1.20, we are very sorry indeed to hear that Messrs. Benson have decided to discontinue the manufacture of Pressure Gauges. We presume therefore that we shall be thrown back on Messrs. Salter for supplies. Do you think anything could be done to persuade Messrs. Salter to improve the quality and finish of their product as this appears to us to be very necessary? Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} B | ||
