| X3066 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ Secret. BJ6/E3.4.28 Can you please let me have a list of the modifications to the Phantom which you believe that R.{Sir Henry Royce} will wish us to adopt as standard before the introduction of the "SS{S. Smith}", and what each of them is likely to cost to introduce, as I do not think it is/necessary for us to spend a lot of money in jigs, tools, dies etc. for our present standard car unless the alteration is to overcome some serious defect.
