Dear Sirs, We are obliged by your letter, EFC1/T14917, re Optical Indicator and enclose a tracing showing the scale of the diagrams sent you on 12th. If laid over you will be able to scale off and observe the maximum pressure is in the neighbourhood of 175 lbs per sq. inch. Much higher maximum pressures have however been recorded. In practice the exhaust and suction work would be done with lighter diaphragms than for the full explosion test. We shall be pleased to see you here on Friday next if convenient. A Route Card is enclosed. A St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Clowes St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} tram from Deansgate will bring you down in 5 minutes.
