| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}2/JH.13.9.37. In reply to your memo. H:S/5/VS.{J. Vickers}10.9.37. with reference to the restriction found in the petrol tank feed pipe on 26.G.VI., you state you will continue to take usual precautions without being reminded of the fact. We cannot help but point out that in this case the precautions had not been taken and it was unfortunately necessary to remind you, and we fail tosee why our memo called for such a resentful reply. The object of this memo. is to make quite sure that at least in the case of 26.G.VI. the usual precautions are taken next. time. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
