Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. For the attention of Mr. West. Dear Sirs, HOBSON K-S ELECTRIC TELEGAGE. We beg to acknowledge with thanks receipt of yours of the 31st July with regard to the above subject, and in reply would like to state that we should be very pleased to furnish you with a sample of the above instrument for trial. To enable us to go more fully into the matter of supplying the type of instrument which will be capable of being fitted in your panel, or adjacent to other instruments in the facia board, we shall be obliged if you will give us particulars of the room available behind the instrument, if it is incorporated in a panel, or some indication as to your present design of instrument for installation purposes. With regard to the tank unit portion of the instrument, it would perhaps be advisable to let us have a drawing of your present type of tank, as those which we have here may be out of date. Owing to the length of the arm carrying the float which operates the tank unit portion, we conclude that you would probably be able to make arrangements | ||
