| E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3579 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG6.1.22. "WEYMANN" VACUUM TANK. X3593 X3579 We are sending to you a vacuum tank made by Weymann of Paris. This is the same make as is used on the "Delage". The "Weymann" appears to be a better made unit than the Autovac. We are endeavouring to obtain some Weymann units which can be fitted into our tank which is being made - we can then compare the "Weymann" with the Autovac. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
