Bailey - Chief Engineer} Sft.{Mr Swift} Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Ee. Phantom II and 20/25 HP. Sealed Petrol Filler Air Vent. In reply to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}14/KW.12.3.34, the modifications referred to in S.1/HP.7.3.34 under the drawing number F.86074 are the subject of a standardisation sheet at present in circulation; they can therefore come on production as soon as the Works are in a position to produce them. This scheme is satisfactory from the users point of view but is unnecessarily complicated and costly for permanent production. A further simpler scheme is in hand and will automatically replace F.86074 as soon as it is satisfactorily tested. We should be in a position in about 10 days or a fortnight to say exactly when F.86074 will be brought on to production. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
