| C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3596 BY/C5/W.28/8/24. 20-HP. CHASSIS. PETROL TANK. ------------------ The Makers of the Telegauge have sent us a 20-HP. Petrol Tank fitted with one of their Petrol Level Indicators, similar to those fitted to the 40/50 HP. chassis. We do not know how they have managed to get the Tank in question, unless they have obtained same from our Paris Depot. Although we know that Mr. Royce does not agree with the Telegauge being fitted to the 20-HP. chassis Petrol Tanks, we thought that you might make use of the one submitted to us on one of your Experimental cars; therefore, will you please arrange to have same collected from this Office.
