Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/KT.17.3.31. SEPARATE GEARBOX FOR PHANTOM 11. We understand that the question that whether this box is likely to be useful has been raised. We still require a test for this gearbox and should like it to be fitted to 19-EX. car. To complete the resemblence of Phantom 1 we want - (1) Some sort of casing to put on the Phantom flywheel to reproduce that on Phantom 1. (2) An additional cross-member to be fitted to reproduce that on Phantom 1. arises. We should like to discuss any difficulty which arises.
