Dear Sirs, For the attention of Major Searight. We thank you for your TPS/MW of the 19th. inst. We note the slow action of the gauge is due to the capillary - we had discovered this ourselves. We are now testing to see what safety factor we have when braking, also what the effect of swan spirit is. We shall let you know our results before the end of the week. Yours faithfully, | ||
