LOV{Mr Lovesey} Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 23rd inst. and in reply thereto are pleased to inform you that we could lay out a design of Thermostat suitable for the conditions set forth in your letter. The design would incorporate Balance Valves in order to cope with the fairly high pressure which we presume you are operating at and we hope to be able to forward you our blue print towards the end of this week. In the meantime, it would be of interest to us if you could send us a blue print showing the position where the Thermostat would have to be installed and the water connections. Yours faithfully, p.p.
