Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of March 11th. In order to enable us to go into the matter fully, will you be so kind as to let us have the Thermostat which you have discharged, as we are not clear as to whether some of your measurements are bellows measurements only or whether they were taken over the bellows plate. Yours truly, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT COMPANY LTD. W. Martin-Hurst. Director. | ||
