| X5760 PN.{Mr Northey}4/WTL1.11.28. S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}..from PN.{Mr Northey} Mr. Sidney has written further about the modification to the 20 H.P. model in respect of the plug at the lower half of the crankcase and the locking device which you say has been fitted to the 20 H.P. for the petrol tank cap. He says that apparently you have made a mistake in thinking that there is a locking device to the petrol tank, as although this is the case with the "Phantom" petrol cap it is not so with any of the 20's that Mr. Sidney has seen. Do you agree with his comment? PN.{Mr Northey} WS | ||
