EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} E.2/HP.25.2.36. 32-EX - Petrol Tank. With regard to the petrol tank to be fitted to 32-EX, on looking into the question of the 31 gallon tank I find that we have not yet done a scheme for the suspension, which is to be of the strap type. As we cannot revert to this without delaying Wraith, 32-EX should be fitted with the standard tank as instructed for production, and the revised suspension for the 31 gallon tank will be dealt with as soon as time permits.
