Bowering- file PHANTOM III - PETROL TANK. We are still without a reply to our BY.3/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 24.12.35. where we raised the question of the rumbling which was complained of by Mr. Hancock in his report as well as verbally at a Conference at which we were present. It is evident that the large tank reported upon by Mr. Hancock will cause complaints in customers hands, and therefore we do not feel justified in releasing the large tank at this moment. By BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
