Engineer} Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 17th inst. in regard to No 71A Taps, but would say that we have not produced this with connections suitable for rubber hose. We should of course be pleased to consider doing this as a production job, if the quantities warrant it. Alternatively, you may perhaps like to consider our D6 Tap which could possibly be utilised. Yours faithfully, ROTHERHAM & SONS LTD. Engineering Department Enc. | ||
