| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [struck through] C. to PN.{Mr Northey} P. 2. PETROL RESERVE. R1/M2.6.30. X7460 With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MJ31530., I quite agree that it will be the most suitable scheme to keep the reserve to fall back on the old reserve as well as the smaller reserve that I suggested in the autovac tank. I am looking at an early date however to using a petrol pump, in which case the matter will be somewhat simpler. yHR R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
