| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3800 C12/C18.11.26. Re 'AUTO-PULSE' FUEL. ------ Would you kindly let me have your views on the above fuel. Mr. Nutt writes me as follows:- "This matter was discussed again at our Works Conference yesterday morning, at Lord Curzon's request; and I would like to say that he is most interested (not financially) in this fitment and knows that it has been quite satisfactory in the Navy. He would be most interested to know the serious drawbacks from your point of view - which will be treated in confidence." I had previously advised Mr. Nutt that we have had particulars of it but that there are many serious drawback to it from our view-point. C. | ||
