| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4037 ROY {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /MS12/P.13.1.28. 20-HP CHASSIS PETROL FILTER. As you are aware, we are at present fitting visible Petrol Filters which we purchase from the Zenith Company to Drawing F.55185. We send you herewith a similar filter made by Messrs Benton & Stone, the price of which is about half what we are paying for the Zenith. Attached we give you a copy of their claims for this over the Zenith. We also send herewith the petrol pipe which Messrs B.& S. are supplying in quantities to Motor Manufacturers. In this instance the pipe is coned at the end from the copper tube, thus doing away with the brazing or soldering on of a brass nipple, the nipple being an integral part of the pipe. We shall be glad to have your opinion on these two articles. ROY. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} Filter & By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
