Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3875 BY3/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 14.12.26 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED 1926 THERMOMETERS. I have been writing to BJ. to try and get a settlement in regard to introducing the thermometer with an electrical connection to light up a red lamp when the water reaches boiling point. Apparently Sales are hesitating as to whether they would make the fitting an extra. I am going to say that they cannot have pieces modified, they will have to order a bulk number. He further states that'the present position is, we are waiting to inspect the fitting as mentioned in C4/07/12/26 addressed to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
