| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}1/KW.16.4.36. In the batch of standard pumps tested, we had variations in the maximum pressure ranging from 24" to 36" head of petrol. From our curve, this figure is as important as the free flow delivery and we would like to know from your experience whether this is so, and if the pumps are tested for maximum pressure before delivery. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
