| X560 To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}22/KW.9.7.36. Re GLG-5. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E.8.7.36. We will move the petrol filter on your car. With regard to the petrol pump, we would recommend putting this in the standard position as on 22-G-V.{VIENNA} As you will see from the report of July 5th, this seems to be O.K. even in extremely hot weather at altitude. We will also restore the gearbox to the original 4-speed. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
