Steadman. We thank you for your letter dated July 8th. We have made considerable progress with our work on small heater motors, but we shall not be in a position to supply a sample for approximately eight weeks. We have to-day written to Mr. Dunn of John Marstons Ltd., giving him this information, and enclosing a copy of a drawing of our motor, asking for his criticisms with regard to the manner of fixing. We have also informed Mr. Dunn that we have here a number of small American motors similar in size to the one which we shall make, and we shall be very pleased to lend him one for use in the experimental heater which you require. We hope that this will enable your tests to go ahead. Yours truly, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO.LTD. W.Martin-Hurst. Director. | ||
