To GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} X4038 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rml/LG20.10.28.

K-S PETROL GAUGE. X1565

We have two tests that we wish to carry out on this gauge :-

(1) Tank to be filled full of 50/50 spirit - car brakes applied violently - see if any fluid is lost over the top of the tube.

(2) Tank filled with 'Swan' spirit and warmed up as much as possible. Note over-night loss compared with standard fuel.
