Re: 25/30 H.P. CHASSIS HANDBOOK NO. XVII. We send herewith copies of leaflets for insertion in the above, as follows :- Change-over Switch for Fuel Pump. This is to be fitted retrospectively to all 25/30 h.p. chassis. Leaflet No.50/25/30 - for issue to holders of the No.XVII handbook for chassis of Series L2 & M2. Leaflet No.51/25/30 - for issue to holders of the No.XVII handbook for chassis commencing Series N2.
