Childs} c. to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HBR Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 16/JH.14.5.40. 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.
