re Phantom 3 Hydraulic Tappets.

Referring to the broken eccentric arm on the last car in France, we have altered the design by putting on more metal at the top.

We send you herewith LeC.4792 showing this modification.

We also think that we should get a better iron, and suggest Sheepbridge Iron No.SS. {S. Smith} 931.
