| X4038 Expl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/MJ. June 26th.1930. Messrs. H.M. Hobson, Ltd., 47-55, Acton Vale, LONDON W.3. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Major Searight. With reference to K.S.292 which I have just received from Mr. Bailey, with the label attached marked T.8208. We note that the air lines are permanently soldered to the rear tank unit. This appears to us to be dangerous in view of the fact that it will produce a wet air line whenever the dashboard end of the lines are disconnected. We should like to know whether you think we shall run into trouble at coachbuilders' with this proposed alteration. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
