| To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C Dixon X1263 Cricklewood, Oct. 6th, 1936. Petrol Pump Failures. Two cases have been dealt with by Cricklewood of supposed pump failure which was eventually traced to faulty wireless condensors fitted to the pump. Will you please give instructions whether or not condensors should be fitted to the pumps and whether they have any affect upon the working of the pump. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
