X.3456 Up to the present, acting upon your recommendations we have only placed orders for radiators with the Marston Co. We have, however, received samples from both Messrs. Orme Evans and the Reliance Radiator Company. It is very important to let us know whether you consider that we should still continue to accept radiators only from the Marston Company, or whether this ruling can be widened and possibly Orme Evans included, as this firm have previously supplied us with radiators in large numbers. The radiators in question were, however, of the crinkled tube type. We would like to have your views as to the comparative finish of the Marston radiator with Orme Evans. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
