Further to our recent memos. regarding the above, we are now being pressed by Stanley-Johnson Esq., the owner of GO-BW, to cure the fumes from his engine. He has been complaining of this for some long time past, and we wrote him a few weeks ago telling him we had a scheme in hand which we thought would overcome this trouble, and that we would fit same to his car as soon as possible. Could you please let us have a similar pipe to that supplied for Mr. Claremont's car, as Mr. Johnson is getting annoyed with the delay in dealing with this job. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. | ||
