We thankyou for your letter dated September 18th. Your drawing is not quite correct, and we are therefore sending you two valve stem top plate assemblies for your examination. One is of the earlier pattern and the other the pattern which is now standardised. This modification was made more than a year ago, since when every model we make has been changed. We confirm that the four experimental units which we sent to you were the latest type. Yours truly, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO.LTD. W.Martin-Hurst. Director. | ||
