| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} - from Sft.{Mr Swift} C. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [struck through] γ 6135 Sft.{Mr Swift}3/B.27.4.32. 20/25 HP. CHASSIS. We are just on the point of sending the first 4 'U' Series chassis on test but one of our chief hold ups at the moment is the petrol tank unit on the Smiths Electrical Petrol Gauge. Apparently your man Leslie is still experiment-ing with this. Could you please give us your help and arrange for the units now in the possession of Leslie to be passed along to the Erecting Bay as soon as possible? I understand all the other instruments are also under discussion. Sft.{Mr Swift} [Signature] | ||
