| X3678 EWT. for R.R.Inc. for attention of OY. c. to Na.{Mr Nadin} c. to CJ. X3678 X3456 EXTRUDED COPPER TUBES FOR RADIATORS. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}11/LG14.4.21. With reference to F5/G11.4.21. I take it that you will supply us with enough tubes to make three radiators. As soon as we have any definite dimensions, we will send along the size of the Goshawk tubes. As regards the cost, we should like to know exactly what the difference is, when using extruded copper tubes with round ends compared with English made brass drawn tubes. The figure of one-third of the price was only guessed at. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
