| X1245 W/P - Sr. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/KW.23.11.35. Phantom III Acceleration. With reference to Sr/Dn.12/MLG, 20.11.35, we are altering the whole of the induction system on the Ph.III. It is therefore quite impossible for us to give you any acceleration figures at present. With regard to braking, here again the system has not been finalised and therefore we cannot give you any figures. We suggest that you write us again in about two months' time.
