| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x 251 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}8/KW.3.10.35. 6-B-IV Petrol System. Owing to the fact that the details for scheme LeC.4670 called for in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/KW.31.8.35 for the above car will not be completed in time, will you please arrange for the single pipe line reserve warning light scheme to be fitted, incorporating the filter mounted on the rear cross member immediately in front of the tank, as on B-56-BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} It is of course necessary that the anti-surge baffle is fitted to the lightened type tank LeC.4520/1. The pump as originally arranged will be supplied by Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring} The omission of the Tank unit float baffle is not an afterthought of ours, but was omitted in the first instance by the D.O. | ||
