Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/L56.10.28. AUTOVAC AND ZENITH PETROL FILTER. With reference to CWB8/CH4.10.28. We have had metal bowls from Zeniths for a long time. We dislike them and they are far too heavy. We shall probably be standardising a neat aluminium pressing about one-third the weight of the Zenith metal bowl. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
