| c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} V4256 EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}8/H14.7.24. re. 20-HP. Oil Overflow Stand Pipe. As discussed with you a few days ago, we shall be glad if you will see that the gap which you suggested, and about which you stated a scheme had been arranged, is definitely instructed so as to overcome the trouble I pointed out to you of customers being deceived as to the correct level of oil in the axle, due to the oil running straight out of the drain pipe when poured in from the top.
