| HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3700 BY4/G.21.5.28. 77967 ZENITH PETROL FILTER. I attach hereto a reply to my letter which I wrote in connection with the breakage of the three petrol filter glasses on chassis in service. I cannot say that I think the reply is satisfactory, as summing it up they appear to tell us whatever they do we shall have a certain number of breakages. This being the case I think we ought to go to a metal container instead of a glass container, as we should then be certain of eliminating this type of failure. BY. {R.W.
