| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4266 C5/C27.7.22. Re Goshawk. Petrol Tank Provision ---------- Vo/Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Further to our memo. C1/C25.7.22, in case this matter is not clear, what it was intended to convey was that whilst we would rather have a division in the tank, if this is now impossible we certainly think it is necessary for the petrol indicator to be on the dashboard and not on the tank itself, so that the driver can readily see how much petrol he has left in his tank. There are three or four types on the Market, and we have asked you to investigate these. C. | ||
