Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 16/KW.9.7.35. Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Distributor Drive. Replying to E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Jnr. {Charles L. Jenner} 1/HP.6.7.35, we cannot trace any trouble in connection with the "Perfect" Distributor Seals. On the other hand, we do anticipate that the leather may harden, as happened on the oil relay when it was first introduced on the Phantom. We are therefore ordering half a dozen "Gitseals".
