| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (Copy to SM.) (" " De/Div.) +4038 Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/A/17.7.28. Re: K-S. Petrol Gauge. Referring to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG6.7.28. - we thank you for calling our attention to this point and have had the matter carefully looked into. As the result, we have come to the conclusion that it will be possible to fit these gauges up without them being in the way of the knees of the occupants of the front seat. We understand there is a certain amount of danger of this with 'B' columns, but as we shall be dropping 'B' columns with the G.2.B. series, this will automatically help us to get over this point.
