Dear Mr. Bowering, I am sorry not to have replied to your letter of the 10th inst. before, but unfortunately it was put on my desk and overlooked. I note your instructions regarding the pump body you are sending us in the course of the next few days. We ourselves at the moment are not getting on too well with the non-inductively wound coils, as when wound this way we find there is a reluctance for them to start up under load. I don't know whether you have run across this? As regards the float chamber, this is well in hand and I hope to let you have it within the next 3/4 days. Kind regards. Yours sincerely, [Signature] [Handwritten: File] | ||
