Your Ref: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.4/AP.16.3.37. The McCord heater is handled in this country by W.J.Clarke, 30, Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, W.1. We have arranged for one to be sent direct to you so that there is no need for you to issue an order. Provision is made for leading warm air to the inside of the screen glass to prevent condensation and we think you may like to try this; so we have asked for the heater sent you to have the defrosting attachment. You will find the heater a heavy one. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}✓ | ||
