| To G/Rb.{R. Bowen} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. 1260 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.3/AP.23.6.37 Will you please let us have cost figures for Bentley water thermostat scheme to LeC.5655 as a production unit - this scheme has been detailed by the D.O. The price for the thermostatic unit which is purchased outside has been quoted by the makers as 5/6d. The end cover connection (EB.3320) will not have the tapped boss (1.200") dia. on its side as shewn on drawing - this was only added for experimental purposes.
