Protection of horn wire in Steering Column from Petrol & B.L.

A scheme DCD 627 has been submitted to you with memo Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 22/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 22.4.38 for approval.
Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}, Scott and I have reviewed this together & arrived at the unanimous decision that it will not be worth while in the form submitted & recommend that petrol proof insulation for the wire be used.
