| X 7510 By Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Mx {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} 2/T23.7.30. Autovac Tank We are receiving on test Autovac tanks with the aluminium top. The fixing/arrangement for the two top unions is not satisfactory. The angle at which the outlet elbows are placed, the nut fouls - quite apart from this feature the appearance is poor. Mx {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} | ||
