PETROL RESERVE. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/MJ31.5.30, I quite agree that it will be the most suitable scheme to keep the reserve to fall back on the old reserve as well as the smaller reserve that I suggested in the autovac tank. I am looking at an early date however to using a petrol pump, in which case the matter will be somewhat simpler. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
