| x262 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}14/KW.28.4.36. E.R. Hall's Car - Le Mans. We have evolved an automatic oil feed for this car which maintains the quantity of oil in circulation at 1 1/2 gallons. The float operated valve shuts at 1 1/4 gallons in the sump. We have rigged up this scheme on an old type sump and tried it on a car. Will you please adapt it to the new type sump and fit it to E.R. Hall's bottom half.
