when received.
With regard to the concluding portion of your letter, I have to state that there is no objection to the Naval Authorities supplying their meters, but the pattern must be approved by the Water Authority, as in the case of the meters used by the Military Department.
The pattern in use by the Water Department is Frost's patent positive Water Meter, as manufactured by the Manchester Water Meter Company Limited, Teppeing Street, Ardwick, Manchester.
The Resident Engineer has two and a half meters of this pattern capable of measuring 4,000 gallons per hour, in stock.
The catalogue price for the 2½ inch meter at the Works, is £14.
I have &c.
