| ORIGINAL FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Copy to - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 20/25 - SECOND HALF OF 'T' SERIES PETROL TANK. We suggest that if Derby can arrange to do so the cheapening features of the J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. tanks (N. schs. 3191 & 3196.) should be included. (1) Pots for gauge, filters, and sump, be pressed into the tank. (2) Suspension tube carried right through with the simplified ends. The tank would have the present gauge fitting and the two pipe connection for the filters to suit the dashboard control of the reserve. Would Derby please arrange to do this, or tell us what prevents its adoption. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} RECEIVED 8 MAY x 5460. | ||
