We are standardising the K-S petrol gauge both for the 20 HP. and 40/50 HP. On all new cars it will be fitted as it has been run on 12-EX and 10-EX. It will probably be desired to fit it retrospectively in a number of cases, however. as* We should like to have a scheme of how it will be fitted to cars having filters in the centre in order that we may run it in this position experimentally. With regard to the 20 HP., we should also like to have a finished drawing of this with the appearance of the gauge as shewn India 3. so that we can try it before it comes on production.
