| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} SpectreCodename for Phantom III Induction System. We are worried about the accessibility and compactness of the 4 carburetters in the vee of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. We are making a big effort to get a 2 carburetter system with down-draught carburetters; alternatively 2 horizontal carburetters. For this reason we shall be sending through to you in the immediate future various induction pipe scheme. We shall be glad if you will give these priority. It is intended to do the necessary induction pipe tests on the Bentley as this closely resembles one half of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III.
