| 171 Re Resistance Tanks for Experimental Test engine. Mr Nadin 19-11-12 TBB8/L191112 Will you please put in hand without further delay the necessary work for rigging up the big resistance tank which has now been delivered for some months. I am very anxious that this part of the rig should be in working order when the Experimental Shop is open. It is not worth while fitting up the temporary barrels that we have used for the last three or four years, as they are continually giving trouble. (Handwritten on left margin): X380 | ||
