Your memo Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.17/KW.21.8.36. received.

It is evident that my memo of the 19th August has misread.

A coiled copper pipe is already fitted to the damper unit control but the union on the control unit is a spherical joint similar to all oil pipes. We require a union to suit the olive joint.
