ENCLO. OUR REF. TPS/MW YOUR REF. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.24/KW 30th June 1936. Expl. Dept. Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Derby. [Signature] Dear Sirs, We beg to thank you for your enquiry of the 26th inst., with regard to Hobson K-S distant reading Telegage for water temperatures. We have been waiting to send this instrument to you until it was entirely of British manufacture. If, however, you do not mind testing an article of which the bulb element is of foreign manufacture, and the indicating instrument of English manufacture, we can let you have one at short notice. In the meantime we shall be obliged if you will inform us whether you wish it calibrated in degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade, and whether a single type of instrument for mounting on dashboard will be satisfactory for your present experiments. Should you wish to conduct two experiments at the same time, we could furnish a dual type instrument indicating oil pressure on one dial and water temperature on the other. If, however, you would prefer to have two individual instruments, we could so arrange this. Should you require an oil pressure | ||
