| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 84038 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KT.17.6.31. 40/50 TANK RETURNED FROM CLAUDEL HOBSONS! We have now received this tank from Claudel Hobsons. They have fitted the boss for their petrol gauge head and have also sent a baffle which they want us to attach to our existing baffle in order to provide petrol splash for the gauge unit. They have rigged up this baffle temporarily so that we can see where it goes, and we should like you to put it in the tank in the same position. The baffle is not very well made, perhaps you can improve on this. Will you then complete the tank which should be returned to Claudel Hobson for final calibration and then will be fitted on 27-EX.
