Thanks for your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}16/JH.2-2-39, the contents of which we note. In every case in the past, it has always been our practise to send all Thermostats to Derby for repair. If it will be a time saver to deal direct with the Makers, we will arrange this, if Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} will tell us where these parts go. The only two we handle are, of course, the E/80893a and the E/87157a. By the way, altogether we have four E/80893a and seven Thermometers outstanding to various cases of this sort. We hope some of these will be returned shortly. Br/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Sec | ||
