| +351 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}8/JH.6.2.36. Ph.III Petrol Tank Suction Pipe. ref: E/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/MN.4.2.36. We are anxious to try out LEC.4974 mentioned under the above memo. Will you please instruct for this scheme to be fitted to 32-EX. On this scheme it shows the anti-surge tower FB.1451 moved towards the back of the tank. We suggest that the present tower is left in position and that another tower is fitted in the new position, so that if scheme LEC.4974 proves useless, we can easily revert to the original scheme by simply changing suction pipes.
