| BY/CS c. Sft.{Mr Swift} c. P. c. Hg. BY.3/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 21.7.33. Will you please note that it is not proposed at the moment to move the petrol tap to the offside of the dashboard, as shown on LeC. 3573 until the Experimental Dept. have demonstrated that they can clear up the troubles which occurred on the first chassis so fitted. This means we will instruct the first 15 chassis with the petrol tap on the nearside. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
