| X4038 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/24.5.28. to Mr. ____ from Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to Mr. H.R. 148. RE K.S. PETROL GAUGE. PHANTOM. We send herewith N.Sch.2613. shewing the Phantom Petrol Tank fitted with a K.S.Telegauge. As the final scheme we shew the gauge and the filters placed symetrically about the centre line, but should it be desired to fit the Telegauge to tanks which have already the filters in the centre, we suggest that the gauge be placed in the near-side compartment, close to the baffle. We do not know what is the Sales wish in connection with the fitting of this gauge as standard, but we have now given you all the information that is necessary to anable you to make the tests and introduce it if it is wanted. We feel that some such fitting is very desirable, and that the public will demand it before long. Many quite inexpensive cars have a distant-reading gauge. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
