| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. C. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} WST x6079 BY/RD4/W.28.3.33. Starter Motor Bearings. With reference to your enquiry as to when we are bringing on the self-contained oiling system on the "Phantom" in lieu of the Bijur ; the Standardisation Sheet is in the hands of the Works to give cost figures, but one wonders whether we are sufficiently satisfied with this job in view of your note stating that a similar scheme on the "Peregrine" has failed.
