Re GLG-5.

Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 1/E.8.7.36.

We will move the petrol filter on your car.
With regard to the petrol pump, we would recommend putting this in the standard position as on 22-G-V. {VIENNA} As you will see from the report of July 5th, this seems to be O.K. even in extremely hot weather at altitude. We will also restore the gearbox to the original 4-speed.
