Please note that due to the uncertainty of
materials supply and cost, it may be necessary to alter
some cosmetic items. It is also our policy to continually
develop our instruments, and to use the best materials available
at the time, so variations in specification do occur, though
any significant changes are discussed with our customers
prior to building.
