| HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x985 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9/LG13.11.25. Petrol storage in Experimental Dept. We are very anxious to get rid of the petrol in tins which we still have to use in the Experimental Dept. for cars. This, as you are aware, is expensive way of buying petrol and it is also difficult for us to keep a check of it. We should be glad if you will try and arrange for us to have a pump for petrol for car use. | ||
