| GRY {Shadwell Grylls} WYM {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} X323 To PY. from E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} SECRET. E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} 2/HP.29.8.35. c. RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} re Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Silencer. Noted [Signature] We send you herewith:- LeC.4666 showing a minor modification to the inside of the silencer at the forward end. The inaccuracies of the parts which we are told we must expect are such that they result in restricting the exhaust flow. To overcome this we have shaped the outer pipe with a large radius where it is fixed to the front baffle. E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} | ||
