| X 1282. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} S/KT. Sept 25th 1933. F.R. Banks Esq., Ethyl Export Corporation, Abford House, Victoria, London. S.W.1. Dear Banks, You will remember my mentioning to you that we should require some neat Ethyl fluid for one of our cars going to France, because we want to conduct our tests over there on lead which is unattainable on the continent. We should be glad to know whether you could supply us with 1/2 gallon of T.E.L. We are proposing to put this in an ordinary tin container and would like to know whether it is necessary to take any special precautions to line the vessel, in which the fluid is carried. Yours sincerely, | ||
