Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 19th January, with reference to our quotation for an 8" Pressure Gauge, and whilst we can quite easily arrange for the calibration of 0 - 100 lbs.sq.in. marked in 1-lb. divisions, we are sorry that we cannot supply a gauge calibrated from 300-400 lbs.sq.in. also in 1-lb. divisions. Under the circumstances, we shall be glad to know whether there is any other possible alternative which you could adopt. Yours faithfully, for HOPKINSONS LIMITED. R.C. ARCHIBALD. | ||
