CX.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}14/KW.20.9.32. We have communicated with Clayton Dewandre's and asked them to quote us a price for the heater, but we have not up to the present heard from them on this point. You are doubtless aware that the heater was, last week, demonstrated to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} PN.{Mr Northey} C. and Mr.Barnes; Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} and yourself were absent. It appeared to be considered satisfactory in every way, and it was put forward by us that it could be installed in a more inconspicuous position if the periphery of the heater were cowled in and the hot air led to where it is required by a pipe or duct. This however depends entirely upon where you require the heater fitted, and we would suggest that, having approved of the efficiency of the unit, both electrically and mechanically, the final points can best be dealt with by yourselves. We will advise you immediately we hear from the makers as regards price; they will not of course be able to quote for installation as they do not know how, or where, we require it fitting up. Their price therefore will cover the supply of the heater unit only. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
