Phantom 2 and Phantom 3 Turning Circles.

I am sending you herewith copy of Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 1/HP.

We should now like to have the measured figures for Phantom 3 as it is now and with the modified steering lever fitted to clear the yoke nuts.

The modified lever can be made from the old forging by rebending.

ATT: F. {Mr Friese} Dodd - I cannot find the turning circles we took on Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) I. Can you turn these up? Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
