BREEDEN Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, Derby. 21st., July, 1938. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr.Leslie. We confirm your visit to these works yesterday and subsequent discussion with the writer regarding several accessories which we are just about to put into production. In compliance with your request, we are enclosing one sample thermostat tube which has been filled with wax with a melting point of 85 degrees Centigrade. The melting point is rather critical and once melted there is no increase in volume up to 100 degrees Centigrade. We shall be interested to hear the result of your tests on this tube, and if there are any further samples which you require, please do not hesitate to communicate with the writer. Trusting the foregoing is satisfactory and meets with your requirements, Yours faithfully, FOR WILMOT-BREEDEN LTD. (R.P.Turner) ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF BUMPERS IN EUROPE | ||
