| To EH. from BJ. Copies to H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4266 20 H.P. SIDE PETROL FILLER. We have had complaints from customers in regard to the angle of the side petrol filler on the 20 H.P. They complain that it takes two men to fill the tank, one of whom has to hold the funnel upright. I believe the attention of the Works officials has previously been drawn to this fact, as the taper funnel has little or no capacity when used at an angle. Please let me know what action has been taken to overcome this difficulty. B.J. | ||
