X.3888 CHASSIS - PETROL TANK.

With reference to your memo BY4/P29.6.20 we are quite in agreement with the above but so far we have received no design for this tank.

The tank we are testing is one with a side filler only; it has not the reserved apartment neither has it the proper gauge for registering the quantity of petrol in the tank. I suggest that you send a copy of your memo to Mr. Day in order to remind him of the urgency of this matter.
