To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

With reference to the attached.

I was not aware that we made any definite recommendation as regards petrol. There is nothing mentioned in the Instruction Book. We expect cars to run on all the standard distributed fuels.

We see no reason at all why the National Benzole Mixture should not be used. We believe it is used by quite a number of our customers.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

Letter returned herewith.
