| Y36499 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} From HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}18/KT. 22.4.31. With reference to your enquiry re. Smitherit belows for the petrol pump. We have written to Smith's to get the information but we should like to bring to your notice the cost of these fittings. The one that we have on the car radiator which is standard size and used by thousands of other people costs between 20 - 25/-. We expect to be able to buy a complete A.C. petrol pump for round about this sum. The special belows we have for the shock absorbers are costing us about £2. each.
