If the gauges have not already gone off, it will only be necessary to return to us the tank units. We are at once putting in hand new units for these gauges. We will endeavour to supply one with the hand operating pump gear, and if we are successful in getting this through in time, we will supply you with a new three air line assembly for this particular unit. We note that you will let us have a tank at some future date for checking purposes. Assuring you at all times of our best attention, Yours faithfully, H.{Arthur M.
