Hinged type of Petrol Tank Filler Cap. I am very glad to note from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} 3/MA.1.6.32 that effective modifications will be instructed as soon as possible with a view to preventing excessive spilling of petrol from the latest form of filler. I am not clear from the blue-print and description whether this modification is one which can be easily applied to any existing fillers where complaints may have arisen. I trust that this is the case. Will Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} please let me know whether the holes which have to be filled up or drilled can be done in position.
