With reference to the ½ gallon
recoil fluid can, to obtain particulars of a suitable can, we
paid a visit to Messrs. Daltons (Silkolene) Co., of Belper,
who provided us with a sample which we are handing to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}
This, we are given to understand, is a standard type, and can
be obtained from any of the following firms :-

Reads Ltd., 21, Bridgewater Street, Liverpool.

British Can Co., Breeze Lane, Walton, Liverpool 9.

F.{Mr Friese} Atkins Co., Ltd., Gipsyville, Hull.

The latter firm were recommended for
quick delivery. The price given for these tins was approximately
120/- per gross.

It is thought that this type of can
will eliminate the oil funnel which Ve/HP suggested should be
provided.
