| X.3889 Extract from Byl/P 27.5.20. X.3614. RE AMERICAN CHASSIS. There are two further points in regard to design as follows:- (b) PETROL TANK. X.3896. 3889 X.3755. We have forwarded to you complete drawings for the present English standard type petrol tank, and we assume in view of CJ's definite instruction that the American chassis will not be fitted with the side filler scheme until such time as same becomes standard on English cars. If therefore, there is any particular point in regard to this policy that you have a definite doubt about, the matter should be discussed with CJ. | ||
