| X4471 Expl: Dept: Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. 25th. Jan. 1929. Messrs. De Havilland Ltd., Stag Lane Aerodrome, Edgware, Middlesex. Mr. Gibson from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/VH, Can you please arrange to send off a transmitting thermometer of the type suitable for boost temperatures so that it will reach us on Monday next? We are urgently in need of this as our present one has just failed - this reads from 0°C to 100°C, and is marked 'Oil temperature' Negretti & Zambra. As long as the temperature range is suitable it it is not absolutely essential to have an identical instrument. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/V.Halliwell. | ||
