| - 2 - Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/ML.12.10.40. I was very interested to know what you finally decided to do about the tank project. If you ultimately decide that we could be of any assistance, I will put the matter up to our Board. I am sending you, under separate cover, one of our electrical petrol pumps, which can be placed anywhere in the system. I enclose a delivery curve. Yours sincerely, Pilkington said he was sending me detail drawings of the gears and cones in the box. I shall be interested to see these. I have had a talk to Mr. Hives about the tank project and once again he says he cannot understand why you have not taken the job into your own hands some time ago. He will be only too glad for me to assist you in any way that I can with the Staff I have available. NOTE. Delivery curve mentioned above, to follow. | ||
