| SECRET X350 To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [REDACTED] Copy to [REDACTED] Mr. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} WAC. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. E.7/MN.16.7.35. SPECTRE(Codename for Phantom III) STEERING. I note in a lot of GM's reports that he complains of steering shocks on the Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) at speeds in the neighbourhood of 45 miles per hour. We suggest that it might be useful if the Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) could be run on the bump with the small aluminium strips fitted to the drums which were used some time ago. This would enable us to determine whether the shocks he feels are due to wheel hop or frame deflection. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
