Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Please follow this up re Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Front Engine Mounting. We send you herewith drawing:- LeC.4117 showing an experimental modification that we should like tried. We feel that the weight on the rubbers is too localised, and it is thought that by placing a large diameter washer on top of the rubber we shall get more rubber in contact with the foot as the load increases. Although the drawing calls for a new pot, this is not essential, as a washer can be inserted between the face of the pot and the underside of the engine arm.
