| To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Dixon. x1263 Levallois, Oct. 2nd. 1936. I have received the memo. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}32/KW.30.9.36: I gave instructions at Cricklewood during the weekending September 19th that no further bending of the plates was to be done also at Paris on September the 27th. Paris dealt with numerous pumps before I was aware of it, therefore I do not know the number of pumps so dealt with. I have instructed them not to touch the pumps in any way. New pumps being received are being sent back for noise. They are waiting for 10 pumps to be in stock. The position is impossible with noisy pumps. At Cricklewood there were 4 pumps dealt with to my knowledge. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
