Phantom III Exhaust System. We have had a disappointment in regard to the construction of the new exhaust system. We had called for welding of cast iron to mild steel. It appears that we have had little experience of this in these works, and, therefore, we shall have to modify the parts to a construction that we know will be satisfactory. This will mean modifying the pattern of the breeches pipe and the casting at the rear end of the silencer. We send you herewith Lec.5412 and Lec.5413. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
