RE. K.S. GAUGE. X.4038
X.7830

Thank you for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/LG17.1.29. re. the above.

If you refer to our N.sch.2780 (size V) you will see the new moved back position of the gauge on the tank, and the max. body we can ever expect to have. The body may be square backed as on 19-EX.

As a matter of fact 19-EX is the very worst case we shall experience, and it is that body we have shewn on N.sch.2780.
