Dear Sirs, RADIATOR CALORSTATS. We wish to obtain a special filling for one of our car thermostats. We are sending you the thermostat under separate cover. Will you please arrange for it to start 80°C. to open at 86° C. and to deliver the maximum possible pressure at boiling point consistent with this result. We urgently require this instrument and should therefore be obliged if you would do you best to let us have it as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
