Re: Bensport Series 1 - Petrol Pump. ------------------------------------ With reference to the larger capacity Bensport Petrol Pump which is being detailed to LeC.3417, we find out that the 40/50 HP. chassis details which are used for this pump have not yet been satisfactorily tested. In these circumstances after the Experimental details have been issued we should instruct for 15 Production sets only. We understand that the 40/50 HP. pump to LeC.3005 and LeC.3006 will be fitted to 27-EX. before it leaves for France, and also bench tests carried out on another pump to this design. BY/SS.{S.
