(Handwritten: DIXON agrees to) HIGH PRESSURE PETROL PUMPS FOR U.S.A. (Handwritten in margin: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} only agrees to 3 sets. See R.H.C.) In accordance with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}11/KW.15.10.37 Three Sets of High Pressure Petrol Pump Parts have been completed and handed to the Repair Department for despatch to U.S.A. to be used in cases of Customers' Complaints. It has been ascertained that there are fifteen Phantom 111 cars in America not fitted with the latest type Pump and it is therefore considered necessary to supply a further twelve sets of Pump parts for the remaining Chassis. Unless we hear to the contrary arrangements will be made to supply the twelve sets outstanding. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} | ||
