Dear Sirs, "DOBBIE-McINNES" 'FARNBORO' ELECTRIC INDICATOR. With reference to your esteemed enquiry we know of no reason why the arrangement of Differential Plunger Valve Unit combined with Cock fitted on the Engine Cylinder, should not prove suitable for your purpose although, we may add, we have not previously had occasion to supply it for Gas pressures approximating the high limit you mention. For the Differential Plunger Valve Unit with latest type Water-cooled Cock added, the price would be £9. 0. 0. the period required to prepare being about 7 days. Assuring you of our careful attention and best services at all times. Yours faithfully, FOR DOBBIE McINNES & CLYDE LTD [Signature] P.S. If the "Blue" Tension Springs - 1/40 - were used in conjunction with the above-mentioned Unit, the maximum pressure for which the former would be suitable would be 3000 lb. per square inch. We could, however, if desired, prepare Tension Springs 1/34, which would be suitable for a maximum pressure of approx. 2550 lb. per sq.in. the extra price being £3. 10. 0.
