| X4037. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Bentley Petrol Filter The accessibility of the nut on the bottom of the Enots petrol filter has been criticised as being difficult to operate. The criticism seems justified. We think it would be much improved if we could have a butterfly nut instead of the knurled one. We send you herewith LeC.3558 showing a four wing nut and the makers should be asked to supply this type. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
