SpectreCodename for Phantom III Petrol Pumps. We think we should make the maximum use of S.U's in the development of any new petrol pump we require. We think it is wrong for us to have to produce these petrol pump parts in the Experimental Dept. and further overload ourselves, if it can be avoided. The main object of getting outside components is to ease our Design and Development commitments. Will you write to S.U's and see what their reaction is to dealing with the job this way.
