With reference to RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}1/BE.21.11.29. we have just received information from R.R.A.I. that the Fulton Sylphon Company are unable to supply us with thermostats of the size we require, and at the same time give the movement required by the design of the radiator shutter controls, therefore the matter has been referred back to WW. for their further consideration. In the meantime it would be advisable to stop work on the radiators you have in hand. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
