| x5460 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG1 3.12.28. K.S. GAUGES. x 4038 Will you please let Messrs. Hobson have a drawing of India 1V Petrol Tank shewing the correct angle of the air line connections. There does not seem to be one available, and in consequence the tank we sent them had these connections wrongly placed i.e., looking straight forward. This is urgent as they are making further gauges for India. We attach the two Hobson prints for the calibration of 'SS{S. Smith}' and India tanks. - Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
