| W/L.H. To JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} [Stamped text in red ink] 260 a/cs 12.6.3. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}14/JH.16.3.38. re petrol pump On B.50.LS. Lp.{Mr Lappin} has advised us that the petrol pump on the above chassis failed with you last week and we have obtained this pump and examined and tested it and have not been able to reproduce or find any cause for failure. In view of the fact that this is an experimental pump we should be much obliged if you could let us have the symptoms and particulars of the trouble which might give us a lead as at the moment we can only suspect a fault on the electrical circuit such as fuses or change over switch.
