Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr.F.J.Hardy. We notice that in our Drawing No. 11295 showing the proposed Thermostatic Relief Valve for use on an experimental Bentley car, which accompanied our letter of yesterday's date, there is a mistake. As drawn it is not possible to assemble and valve and seat owing to the diameter of the valve being greater than the bore of the seat. We are therefore enclosing Drawing No. 11295A with this point corrected. Yours truly, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO. LTD. W.Martin-Hurst. ENCL: Drawing No.11295A. | ||
