Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Sft.{Mr Swift}
c/c to Mr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & Mr. D/BP.

Sft{Mr Swift}3/BH.10.1.34.

S.U. PETROL PUMPS.

Further to my memo' Sft{Mr Swift}4/BH.6.1.34, I now understand from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} that the reason the S.U. Co. have suggested that we should change the complete Pump is because they suspect the other Unions which they have fitted, which includes two in the base of the Pump. To change even these Unions would necessitate the removal of the Pump from the Dash, so under the circumstances, we agree that the best scheme would be to change over the Pumps.

Will Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} please arrange therefore, with the S.U. Co. to give us immediate supplies of good Pumps. It would be necessary to have at least 25/30 per week for the first few weeks in order to keep pace with changeovers and current production.

We will make arrangements for the changeovers to be carried out both on cars at the works and delivered.

Will D/BP. please supply an O/No. to which outside work can be booked. The inside O/No. is 55882, and has been taken out for covering the work involved in changing over at these works.

Sft.{Mr Swift}
