:ENTLY you published a er from K. J. Arnold, product nager of Al Industrial of npisford, near Cambridge. It -red to installation of our nt's Centaur Electronics Ltd, one of their own range of fuel nitoring systems at the bus motorcoach firm of
loway Motor Services at
Vithout consulting either ltaur or ourselves Mr Arnold Imed that the Yelloway tern was manufactured by his npany and inferred that itaur were merely agents for own employers. This is an >urd claim and is totally
:rue,
:entaur Electronics of Oldham are British market leaders in I monitoring systems, both in )ital value and numbers of ;terns supplied to commercial iicle fleets, public and local :horities, police forces, fire gade and ambulance erations, and major 3senger transport authorities. ntaur are certainly not agents Al or anyone else, any more in Ferodo or Lucas could im that Ford or British iland are their agents simply cause they supply these )tor manufacturers with brake electrical parts. Centaur, like )st other manufacturers, do y in certain system mponents — designed and ide to their own specifications 3nd one of their suppliers ppens to be an associate mpany of Al. However, all ntaur fuel security systems 3 assembled, fitted and rviced by their own skilled gineers. There was absolutely no rror" in the Yelloway story Iich we, as a long established
d reputable PR consultancy, nt to you on behalf of Centaur. e error, I'm afraid, lies in Mr nold's claims. How many fuel
security systems have Analytical Instruments manufactured and fitted under their own banner? Market intelligence reveals the total is fewer than a dozen. Centaur systems installed and working in Britain alone run to several hundreds. Did Mr Arnold sign his letter in green ink? RONALD L. SMITH
