Action Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /SPO Dear Sirs, We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated December 3rd. There is no reason why the tube and bellows plate should not be in one piece, preferably as a hot brass stamping, as we find that turned bar is apt to be porous. We have sent our drawing to the hot brass pressing people. It is improbable that they will want to alter it, but in case they do, we suggest that you should delay altering your drawing until we send you a detail of the part as it will actually be made. Yours truly, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO.LTD. [Signature] W.Martin-Hurst. Director. | ||
