| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} +4037 ROY{Sir Henry Royce}20/MG29.2.28 BENTON & STONE FILTER Reverting to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG14.1.28, and Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG23.1.28, Messrs. Benton & Stone have now sent in the Petrol Filter - with glass container, in accordance with your request - which I hand you herewith, together with copy of their letter, from which you will note the cause of delay. You will recollect their proposed charge for such filters is about half that we are paying to-day for the Zenith. If, therefore, you could urge your tests, we could probably bring these in on the two new Series of 20 HP. and 40/50 HP. Chassis we shall be ordering shortly. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ENCLOSURES.
