| 661 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to By/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}9/JH.19.6.39. With reference to Complaint Report N.1936 of 16.6.39. Could you please let us have details as to what was the actual cause of failure of the petrol supply. The report concludes with the statement that the pump was O.K. when tested. The fact that the switch was cleaned and examined is significant but you do not state whether any cause for failure was found there. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B.
