Dear Sirs, You will recollect that about 12 months ago you supplied us with a mercury filled Thermometer the same dimensions as ether filled instruments at present fitted to our cars made by The Cambridge Instrument Co. We are anxious to obtain 2 Thermometers the same size as our standard instrument reading up to 120°C with an accuracy of plus or minus 1°. We should be interested to know if you could supply us with such instruments and if so, what the cost will be. Yours faithfully, | ||
