PHANTOM WITHOUT THROTTLE GOVERNOR. X8140 X8770

Replying to BJ10/E22.10.26. We could very easily cut out the governor on any Phantom car.

We suggest that it would be a better test if we arranged to do it on one of the London cars on which the characteristics of the car are thoroughly well known.

We could send a man to carry out this work in London and instruct the people there how to replace the standard parts, if they are required.
