| To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 48930 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG25.8.25. New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I Car for Instruction School. Referring to Bs{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager}6/KW24. 8.25 attached. We remember you raising this matter with us sometime ago, and we mentioned that there was a possibility of us being able to release a Phantom chassis when R.{Sir Henry Royce} received his new car. Since then, however, the position has altered considerably. It will now be at least 2 months before R.{Sir Henry Royce} could possibly have his new car, and there is no possibility of any other experimental car being able to be released before that time.
