| 2. With regard to price, we are prepared to quote on a competitive basis, which we are sure will be most satisfactory. We hold the English rights to the numerous systems of tube blocks manufactured by the Chausson-Gallay-Moreux combine of Paris, and we shall be pleased to demonstrate and arrange laboratory tests for your Representative. We desire to draw your attention to our indestructible "Hercule" thermostat, which is operated without the use of volatile fluid and can be used in any position. This can be operated in conjunction with a patented construction which permits the hand-brake when applied, to cut out the action of the thermostat. Thus, when parking the car in cold weather the shutters keep closed and the engine maintained in a properly heated condition, ready for re-starting. Our Representative will fully explain details and submit a sample, which we shall be obliged if you will test. We are, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, GALLAY RADIATOR CO.LTD. L. P. Delany | ||
