Sept. 24, 1920

Mr. Claude Johnson - 2

developed a pressure in the tank of 8 lbs. while standing . Probably this trouble would be specially prevalent with a black gas tank as is often used. If the combined delivery and relief valve were used of the type shown in the attached sketch this trouble would not occur.

Very truly yours,

ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, Inc.

Per M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley
