| To EJJ. X1209 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 14/KW. 8.10.35. We have no facility for storing petrol at Shardlow. We think your suggestion of an underground tank is a good one. At the present moment without such a facility we consider that there is a considerable risk of fire.
