| X370b To Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/Ms. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG22.12.26. ZENITH PETROL FILTER. With reference to the petrol filter which you recently obtained for us from The Zenith Carburetter Co. Ltd., 42, Newman St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, London W.1. We find that this filter is satisfactory as regards stopping foreign matter but its capacity is very much too small i.e. it gets blocked up after a short period of running. We should be obliged if you could ascertain from the Zenith people whether they manufacture a filter with a considerably greater capacity than this one, and if so, let us have particulars of same.
