| S/W To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re GLG-5. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E817136 Confirming conversation with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} this morning, I will send the car up on Monday so that you can alter the petrol filter position as I want this to be away from under the bonnet before I go abroad. We have had quite a lot of petrol pump troubles the last few days about which I will tell you more when I see you. Kennett has moved it from the dashboard into another position to try to get it further away from the heat. I do not know what you will think about it. I should also like to put back the original four speeds as I find that with the three speeds it really is not such a nice motor-car as it was. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
