possibly could accommodate a similar type of blind.
I believe the objection to the roll top desk blind
fundamentally is that it requires more power to
operate it, and is therefore unsuitable for our
ultimate scheme in which it is operated by thermo-
stat. For the present chassis this objection would
not carry much weight, it would certainly be better to
have a hand operated shutter which cannot be converted
to thermostat control, than no shutter at all.

Will you indicate to me your views ?
