Dear Sirs, For the attention of Major Searight. We thank you for your letter of the 19th. inst; At the moment it is rather difficult for us to let you have a petrol tank to our latest design fitted with a mountingflange for the K-S petrol gauge. When an opportunity occurs however, we will certainly let you have one. Another point has arisen in connection with the pumping unit of our gauge. In order to facilitate the accommodation of this unit in the 20 HP. petrol tank, we want to tilt it slightly. We should like to know to what angle we can tilt the Sprengel unit in the tank without impairing its pumping efficiency. Yours faithfully, | ||
