| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. EFC. X3563 RECEIVED JUL 23 BY5-P23.7.20. X.3563 CHASSIS - THERMOMETER & THERMOSTAT CONTROL. X.3566 We are informed that the thermostats have been shipped as per cable, copy of which we supplied to you. The point at issue is, that we have 1500 thermometers delivered - the last 500 we have cancelled, and we would like to know whether there is any question of bringing on the thermostat earlier than 1500, even if it involves scrapping 500 thermometers.
