X.3563 RE SYLPHON TUBES FOR THERMOSTAT CONTROL. X 3652 We expect very shortly to be issuing standardisation sheets for Thermostat Control. The item which will control the standardisation of this part will be the sylphon tubes. We understood that 500 sylphon tubes were ordered by CJ. in America. We think that the delivery of these should be urged as it is certain now that we shall fit the thermostat control to our cars. Will BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} please cable CY. and find out the position of these sylphon tubes and when they are likely to be shipped. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
