| H50C. To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}18/JH.5.4.39. B.V. CONTINENTAL TANK. Owing to an error on the drawing no air release holes were made in the baffles. The drawings have now been altered. Will you please arrange to have the tank now in the shop and also the one fitted to 14.B.V. modified. It may be possible to do this through the flanged holes for the gauge and reserve tap. If this is not possible holes will have to be made in the tank body and then patched. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
