With further reference to your letter of the 23rd October, we are to-day despatching to you the unit for control of your bonnet louvres, mentioned in our letter of Saturday. As we stated in that letter the overall length of this unit can be cut down to at least 3", but before experimenting further to find out the smallest practical length, we should like you to test this unit to ascertain whether it does the job satisfactorily. We look forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, THE BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO. LTD. W. Martin-Hurst. Ansd | ||
