1920 Advertising Postcard

A fascinating postcard posted in 1920 advertising the sailings by Queen Elizabeth, Connaught and the Duke of York form London to Kew Richmond and Hampton Court. Connaught, of course, continues to operate on this route in 2010. The card was sent on behalf of Joseph Mears to the boiler makers Abbott & Co in Newark on Trent. The message reads (as best as I can see):-

Dear Sir, We shall be glad to hear respecting our letter of the 10th Re(garding) ???? tubes for Viscount Boiler. Can you Wire works if they are in transit? Oblige for J.Mears

I cannot read what sort of tubes are required - suggestions requested.
