| Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} T.T. PETROL TANK. The T.T. petrol tank is ready and it will be a week before the car is here. We have never fitted a tank to the Bentley approaching this size and on the other hand we have not time to make a duplicate and bump test it thoroughly. This being so, we should like to arrange to fit this tank on the bump and run it for half an hour full to see that nothing stupid happens after which it can be carefully inspected.
