| V3700 S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 1/M/23.1.29. Re: Petrol Filters. Thanks for Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/LG22.1.29. and for the information contained therein. With regard to the 40/50 HP. filter, the remark made in my memo on this subject (Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 3/M/21.1.29) was really on the strength of what turned out to be incorrect information. I was told it was only mentioned in two of the reports, whereas some others subsequently came to light wherein it was mentioned four or five times. I am pleased to note you attribute the trouble to dirty petrol. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [signature] | ||
