| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} x2677 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ.7.2.33. A.C. PETROL PUMPS. Replying to BY.6/G.6.2.33. We should say the value of an A.C. petrol pump complete from them would be less than £1. On that basis half a dollar per pump (approx. three shillings) is, in our opinion,too high a price for royalty. We suggest it ought to be more in the neighbourhood of 25 cents.
