The question of the material from which the water tubes in the cylinders are made, still requires settling. If it should happen that you are of the opinion that the copper tube is sound and reliable, it will of course assist matters very considerably to use copper in place of monel metal. Failing the copper, we would like to know whether you have yet made up your mind on the question of the stainless steel for use in this connection. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
