| X251 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}5/KW.15.3.34. Air Vent for 2-B-IV (Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}'s Car). The above car will be at the Works on Tuesday next, 20.3.34. At present the petrol tank has no air vent, and petrol leaks badly from the union. We wish to fit a vent plug and sleeve, to Scheme F.86074, as fitted to 22-EX. As the Filler is detachable, will you please make a new Filler and fit a sleeve inside; also make the necessary plug and mount it on a suitable boss. When the car arrives the Filler can then be changed over complete. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
