| X.8064 C O P Y. To EH. from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 22nd. May, 1918. BY4/P22518. RE PETROL PROOF ENAMEL. I am sending you herewith one half pint tin of a new preparation called "Peprenel". The makers remark that all that they ask for before subjecting the enamel to the effects of petrol it should be allowed to become dry and hard. Would you kindly test some of the enamel in question as early as possible and let us have a report as to how it compares with previous samples of enamel supposed to be petrol proof. BY.{R.W.
