| To EJJ. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 81209 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}6/MJ.7.2.36. NO.30 TEST BED. Will you please arrange for some sort of stand to be fitted below the petrol tanks, as it is impossible to reach the taps with anything we have in the test house at present. Intermediate float chambers are fitted in this petrol system, and if these flood, there is nothing to stop the tanks empty/ing themselves into the test house. We have already had one occasion where these petrol float chambers have flooded. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/C.T.Salt. | ||
