Attached correspondence is forwarded for your information
coupled with the request that I may be instructed in the procedure
that you wish to adopt in regard to the Power Supply for the Pumps
involved.
2. In considering the whole scheme, I h€id a long conversation
with tlr. Ward Anderson this morning. ' i he outcome of which is
given,J.n the form of suggestions for the general application of
the scheme.
3 . It is thought necessary that agreement should be reached
with Messrs. Bapco that;- ^ +
a. Bfipno cnnnlv tanks, pumps, (they now confirm that
they have suitable electric pumps), manifolds and general pipe
work on a leaee for principal Intake and Off-take for the projected
Installation at Muharraq. ^hey cannot supply Filters, meters,
tank gaskets. .... 4 ., j +
b. The B.A.F. install all such materials on the site
chosen, which vdlF beleasecTfrom the Bahrain Government by the
Roval Air Force, and maintain Installation. ^ ^ ^ 4 ..
C. The T> ?ynJ supply* run and maintain the
necessary Tank Trucks for use between Main Storage at sitra and
Muharrao Storage. , .

4. It is thought necessary, in view of Messrs. Bapco’s
concessionary rights that they should be suitably protected in
this agreement.
5. Should an agreement be drawn up on these lines Bahrain
Government Engineer*s proposal regarding the supply of electricity
can be waived as the necessary Power Off-take from our lines
will become a normal Royal Air Force commitment.
