| X3579. Expl: Dept: Hsl/LG. 14th. Jan. 1927 Messrs. The Autovac Mfg. Co.Ltd., Stockport. Dear Sirs, We wrote to you on the 7th. inst. pointing out the variations we have in the Autovacs which we attributed to the length of the stroke in the float mechanism. Further tests appear to shew that the length of stroke is not the factor which causes the variation. We are still having trouble with the variation in the Autovac. We recommend that you send one of your experts to Derby and we will demonstrate to him the difficulties we are having. Yours faithfully, | ||
