| R.R. 235a (100 T) (S.H. 798. 10-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2947 ORIGINAL RECEIVED To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} RE. CORK DISC SEATED PETROL COCK. X4400 BENTON & STONE. We should be glad if you would return to us the sample of the above which we left with you, with your remarks. We have of course abandoned all other forms of cocks for a needle valve on the Goshawk, and the same policy is very likely to apply to any other chassis we design. Perhaps it would be better if you returned the cock direct to Messrs Benton & Stone Ltd. Bracebridge Street, Birmingham, and I will drop them a note from here. We would still like your remarks, as per para 1. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
