| W/LH.{Mr Haworth} To JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}21.3.38. RE CHASSIS B.50.LS. Thank you for the report on the petrol pump off chassis B.50.LS (L.P.) Now we know that there was no electrical fault we will continue running this pump until this fault is reproduced, and hope to find the cause of the trouble. We know we have the right pump because of the Neoprene diaphragms fitted. We have had previous cases where a pump has failed temporarily and will then run for 50 to 100 hours before it is possible to reproduce the trouble. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B.
