Wraith Propeller Shaft.
I am sending you herewith Messrs. Hardy Spicer's letter of the 13th November 1936, together with their quotation of even date, from which you will see they ask £3.9.3 for the complete assembly on the first batch of 500, and for subsequent quantities of 500 £3.7.0.
I also attach their general arrangement drawing 36/0888, detail of slip shaft drawing K.3-42-GB.361 and detail of journal K.3-5-GB.86. These will enable you to order the required shafts and couplings.
I will send you the Phantom III information to follow.
