| To Wcr. from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 3G/EB.29.8.35 - 2 - This because I see it says that the front compartment becomes stifling with the existing scheme and I know from experience on some of the earlier Phantoms how objectionable this can be. In HSJ/W.29.7.35 it was stated it would be at least 3 weeks before the next SpectreCodename for Phantom III car was sent to France. As it is now getting on for 5 weeks since that date I should be glad to know how soon it will go and when I can see and try it. Will it be available at Derby next week? Sg.{Arthur F.
