Handwritten: WST A SWITCH OPERATED BY .001" MOVEMENT Dear Sirs, A few minutes study of the interesting data given in the enclosed bulletin may suggest valuable applications to equipment of your manufacture. A switch possessing these special characteristics can be used to advantage in all cases requiring small movement and accuracy of control. It is scarcely necessary to add that any device sponsored by Burgess Laboratories has survived exhaustive tests and is a product which conforms to the most exacting engineering standards. In the near future we propose to manufacture this switch in our British works, but for the present sampling stocks only are carried in England. Bulk shipments are made direct by our American associates, usually within one month of ordering. May we have the pleasure of submitting samples for test, on full approval terms?
