We have discussed with Hancock the question of quiet petrol pumps. We must put these into the hands of the public. We, therefore, recommend that as soon as you consider that the pumps are really reliable you hand these over to Hancock. He will fit them to six selected customers' cars, picking out those highly susceptible to petrol pump noise. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
