Dixon - Fuel Systems} 851. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}13.6.38. PETROL TANK B.50. We understand you are making a petrol tank for the 2nd. B.50. Will you please make this to the drawing F.C.D.744, so that it is suitable for the R.R. type shock damper. When completed we want this tank fitting to 1.B.50, and the present tank modifying to the drawing which can then go on 2.B.50. This, of course, is to enable us to fit R.R. shock dampers to 1.B.50.
