Dear Sirs: For the attention of Mr. Steadman. During your call on Monday the question of Thermometer limits was mentioned and we gave you some figures which we find we can improve upon. We can supply under the new arrangement a Dual Instrument with a Thermometer reading to the following limits - +1°C -1½°C over 70. +2°C -2½°C 70 and under. At present we are working to +2 -0, i.e. Air Ministry limits, over the whole range. Perhaps you could kindly convey this information to Mr. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Davis and the other gentlemen interested. Assuring you of our best attention. Yours faithfully FOR S.
