| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M12.2.24. re. TECALEMIT. X3898 No doubt you saw this at the Show. on the Lorraine-Deitritch, and enclose one of the pumps and some nipples. We find the facile attachment of the gun together with the small dimensions of the nipple rather an advantage. Unfortunately the gun enclosed has not the device to prevent leakage at the gun nozzle. The new model described in the catalogue herewith apparently has this additional feature and we suggest that we might like to try this gun, and return it later to the makers. We would like your remarks in order that we may reply to them. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
