| X3800 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3. Expl: Dept: 1st. Dec. 1926. Messrs. R.M.Papélian Ltd., Wolseley House, Piccadilly, London W.1. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter of the 30th.ult. We have conducted a number of tests with the Auto-pulse petrol system. We consider that this instrument has certain undesirable characteristics, and also believe that we have found another alternative to the Autovac, which is more sui-table for our purpose. Under the circumstances we do not consider that it is worth carrying the matter further. Yours faithfully, | ||
