| N/W. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} 1263. Br/G20/G.10-7-39. re, Tech. S.U.Petrol Pumps. ? We note contents of your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}8/JH.6-7-39, in this connection. It is, presumably your intention to have this work carried out at Derby. Will you please confirm and, at the same time, say whether or no, all pumps of the G5SC, and earlier types, are to be replaced by those marked NC, irrespective of whether there is a complaint. All present stocks of twin pumps, including the ten received from Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} on Saturday, at the G5SC pattern. Br/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} | ||
