| Continued. 2. It apparently requires only quite a small piece of this type of wire to be left in the tube to start the action under discussion. We trust that these details will make the matter completely clear to you, and will enable you to transmit the information to the department concerned, as a warning that this material is definitely unsuitable for introduction into Acetylene Tetrabromide fluid, even for the purpose of extracting a small quantity to set the liquid level correctly to zero. Assuring you at all times of our best attention, We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON Ltd T.P.Searight (sgd) Joint Managing Director. | ||
