| G.W.H. Fit to 10,000 miles car please To H.S. From E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} x251 Run Herewith a sample all metal flexible petrol pipe to suit the Bentley car. It is made by the Gabriel Manufacturing Co. Titeflex Works, Columbia Avenue, Edgware, and is known as Titeflex All Metal Flexible Hose. This pipe appears to us to look very much less cumbersome than the present one and in addition it is considerably less expensive. It appears worth while testing it out on a car. If required we can obtain further samples for test. Fitted to 4 BIV chassis outside dia of union was too large approx .008 too large GHH 20/6/34 E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
