NM 8923 7/31 Re: Quarterly Complaints. ---------------------- An item which seems to be becoming rather a formidable one is "Petrol Gauges". For the last 6 Months the complaints on P.II have amounted to 74, and on 20/25's - 45. The remarks at the side say, "Generally speaking these instruments are not too reliable and further investig- ation is required". As this is an article that we buy out, we ought not to have to put up with this continual trouble and expense and I should be glad if you would let me know what is being done with a view to overcoming the matter for the future.
