| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} x346 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.19/KW.17.7.36. Front Suspension - Phantom III. We are in full agreement with the fact that Ph.III chassis are leaving the Works with the front shock damper valves raised .012" from the valve seats. Our 10,000 miles car 32-EX was run in this condition. Will you please therefore instruct that the damper units are fitted to the chassis with the valves raised .012" from the valve seats.
