| S/W -> Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X.1282 C7/C16.12.35 CLEVELAND DISCOL FUEL. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW12.12.35. I note that you do not recommend this, as we have not had sufficient experience of it. I also note you are trying it out on Lp{Mr Lappin}'s car and that in about 12 months time you will be able to form a reasonable opinion as to whether any troubles are likely to be encountered. C. | ||
