| 44630 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG. The Cambridge & Paul Instr: Co.Ltd., Cambridge, England. 1st. May 1924. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 18th. Mar. enclosing sketch of the collecting roller and overall dimensions of the space time recorder. We regret that we have not answered your letter before, but we have been abroad. We should be interested to know whether we could get a fairly constant paper feed for any given setting of pulleys; if we could, it would greatly facilitate the interpretation of our records. The overall height of the apparatus is not given on your drawing - we assume it would be about 10" when enclosed in its case. We are returning to you the blue-prints herewith - We should like to know when we may expect delivery of this instrument as we are anxious to obtain it as soon as possible. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, | ||
