| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GTS. File X4037. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/KT.1.5.33. Some time ago we took over the question of reducing the Enots filter capacity with a view to reducing the time taken for petrol to suck through from a dry pipe line. You have full particulars of this filter and we believe one was actually handed to you as a sample. Will you please instruct this filter for the first Bentley. Note to CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} Will you try and get hold of this sample for me. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
