Sidgreaves - MD}17/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 2.6.27. which Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has asked me to reply to, the position is that we have 246 of the "Kismet" tyre pumps on order, yet to be delivered, and 110 in stock. We have asked the Order Office to hold up any further orders for pumps, until they have submitted the matter to us as to whether we are in the position to recommend a new pump. We are doing this in view of the fact that you propose to submit a pump to coachbuilders to enable them to make the necessary accomodation. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
