Dear Sirs, Porous Body Filter. We thank you for your kind letter of the 8th inst., and note your remarks regarding the filter disintegrating when it is tightened up. We really should have cemented a mount on at both top and bottom to prevent this, and we will make up another filter incorporating this feature, which we believe will overcome the trouble, and will send you this along shortly. It is very kind of you to carry out these tests, but we still rather think that as a filter this porous pot may be hard to beat. Yours faithfully, BENTON & STONE LTD. C. Eric Milner Director. | ||
