Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Robotham. We beg to thank you for yours of the 18th inst., contents of which we have noted. We should be very grateful if you could see your way to loan us a tank of your latest model which is already fitted with a flange for our K-S Telegage unit, on which we could conduct a series of experiments in our Shops here. The tank would not be damaged in any way, and could be returned to you in perfect condition. It is only necessary for us to be able to introduce our Telegage unit into it for trial, and for this purpose we could make a dummy flange over the petrol feed aperture, if you have no tanks fitted with one of our gauge attachments. If there were any difficulties with regard to the issue of this tank to use for experimental purposes in connection | ||
