| To BY/NAW. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gy. c. to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} X3806. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gy.2/MJ.24.7.29. It would be necessary to instruct customers to depress the pump pedal twice before starting out in the morning and twice every 100 miles. This has been found necessary during the warm weather and we cannot see how we can make any departure from this at other times, although it will not be so necessary.
