Dear Sirs, Ref:- Dal/CB13.11.19. Furthernto our letter of November 20th, Ref. JG/WIC, we have much pleasure in despatching to you under separate cover 2 Petrol Gauges as promised. You will note that these Gauges are not calibrated to suit the tank, the sketch of which you sent us, but should you adopt one of these Gauges as a standard we shall then be able to calibrate them to the full capacity of your tank, as shewn. We trust these Gauges will meet with your views. If not and you can suggest any modification, we shall be only too pleased to get down to any scheme that may bring these Gauges into line to suit your requirements. Awaiting your very kind favour, and assuring you of our best attention at all times. Yours faithfully. SIMMS MOTOR UNITS LTD. | ||
