Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 12th instant and have arranged for our Mr. Cole to visit you next week and to bring with him one of our standard Accelerometers for demonstration. We have asked him to get in touch with you to arrange a definite appointment. The instrument we propose to send is one of our Double Accelerometers of the type shown in the enclosed List 149, the price of this being £75. 0. 0. With regard to the provision of a velocity or space base to the record, this could be effected by modification of the standard instrument, and we should be pleased to look into the matter and submit our proposals on hearing that the type of instrument offered is otherwise satisfactory for the purpose. Yours faithfully, for CAMBRIDGE INSTRUMENT CO.LTD. for pp. JW. Joint Managing Director. ENCL. List 149. | ||
