Frame Cross Rigidity. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E3.6.35 Referring to E.3/HP.29.5.35 the information given is of great interest and I am very glad to see that the SpectreCodename for Phantom III frame appears to be more rigid than the Cadillac. Regarding the last paragraph of your memo. relative to new frame for the Bentley, I think the point raised might be usefully discussed at our next conference at Derby 1, as I assume, no delay will be incurred by waiting till then.
