re Electrically Operated Petrol Reserve Tap.

You will recall that we discussed the electrically operated petrol reserve tap and wondered why we make the unit, when we believed originally it was a bought-out unit.

We have spoken to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} who agrees that one bought out unit was fitted to a car but he could not off hand say why we subsequently designed one of our own as all the work was carried out by Ey/RD and Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Dixon.

P.T.O.
