| +82460 Mr. Booth. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY4/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 11.12.24. PETROL TANK. "V" SERIES. I attach hereto copy of Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M.9.12.24. the result of my having written to him, pointing out that when they begin to work on the "V" Series two-compartment tank, it would be necessary for them to keep the external appearance the same, if it was intended for use on "V" Series. Apparently they are already making distinct modifications. This being the case, I wish to confirm positively my instructions that we should use the "U" Series tank for "V" Series, and bring in the new tank being designed by Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} for "W" Series.
