Cadillac Car.

Thanks for E.3/HP.8.11.34, I am interested to note that the tendency of the car to swing round on corners as reported by Hancock is attributed to the anti-rolling control being almost entirely taken by the rear axle.

I assume that on Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) this is not so?

With regard to Hancock trying the car with the anti-rolling mechanism disconnected, I presume you will be asking Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to see to this and I merely mention it because I note that he was not sent a copy of the memo.
