To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KW.3.10.34.

SpectreCodename for Phantom III Camshaft Design.

We attach curves Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1523, showing a comparison of the Cadillac, Bentley, 20/25 and SpectreCodename for Phantom III new and old type camshafts.

The latest SpectreCodename for Phantom III camshaft agrees closely with the Cadillac figures with regard to overlap.

We are urging the short duration camshaft.
