THERMOSTAT CONTROL. Now that the fitting of the Thermostat has got to the Standardisation stage we consider it is absolutely essential, both for yourselves and ourselves, that we should get deliveries as early as possible. The last we heard from you was your cable of the 28th. April, which read as follows:- "Thermostat will be ready at the latest by two weeks for inspection" The following cable was sent to you yesterday:- "Re delivery of Sylphon tube, we have heard nothing since your cable April stop When can we expect delivery" Will you please let us have all the available information you have on the above subject, by return. We are particularly anxious about deliveries, as we are very much afraid we shall have to rely solely upon you for same - therefore no doubt you will agree this is a very important point. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} (Stamp) EFC JUN 15 19 RECEIVED. | ||
