Dear Sirs, for the attention of Mr C.S. Steadman, We have duly received your letter of yesterday, reference Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.10/JH, advising the return of a Clayton Car Heater, S2RA type, which we note you would like to have converted to the S2CA type. We shall be pleased to carry out this modification on receipt of the Heater, and we note that you will send us your official order. With regard to the last paragraph of your letter, we would explain that the main reason for this type is lower water resistance. We have now increased the output to 6,500 B.T.U's per hour with 100 cu. ft. per minute air flow. Yours faithfully, CLAYTON DEWANDRE CO. LTD. SALES DEPARTMENT | ||
