Re: Quarterly Complaints.
----------------------

An item which seems to be becoming rather a
formidable one is "Petrol Gauges".

For the last 6 Months the complaints on P.II
have amounted to 74, and on 20/25's - 45.

The remarks at the side say, "Generally speaking
these instruments are not too reliable and further investig-
ation is required".

As this is an article that we buy out, we ought not
to have to put up with this continual trouble and expense
and I should be glad if you would let me know what is being
done with a view to overcoming the matter for the future.
