| X 300 Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c.Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} E.1/HP.28.10.35. re Phantom 3 . With further reference to E.1/HP.26.10.35, would you kindly note the last but one paragraph on page 3 refers to Phantom 3 and not Phantom 2. Incidentally in connection with the suggested retention of the autovac petrol feed, I omitted to mention the unfortunate effect this accessory has on the slow running of the engine.
