| Ps. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}. x4039 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG27.9.26. RE. O.S. PETROL INDICATOR. With reference to Ps13/JP23.9.26. We do not think there is any possibility of us modifying our petrol tank to suit this gauge as there are numbers of people who are willing to modify their gauge to suit out tank. We therefore suggest that you encourage Mr. Seignol to try and make a gauge which will be satisfactory in our existing tank. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
