Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 9/MJ.12.1.31.

CENTRALLY VENTED TANK.

We understand that you have not yet instructed the centrally vented tank. We particularly want to get this on the car as it should save us a lot of complaints from customers and at the same time should be more economical to buy than the three line scheme.

R. {Sir Henry Royce} was very anxious to get this on 27-EX. car which will be going to the south of France very shortly.

Will you please push the job as far as possible.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson}
