| WST v617 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. BY/RD. E/DMR [Struck through] SECRET. E.3/HP.26.8.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Ignition Wiring. Will you please instruct SpectreCodename for Phantom III works chassis to be fitted with cellulose cambric covered ignition wiring similar to that fitted on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III in France. With regard to the H.T. terminals for this wiring, the original type instructed are not satisfactory due to the variations in plugs and inaccessibility. We are, therefore, preparing a modified design which we hope to have finished today, with a view to rapidly preparing a model, and issuing instructions at the earliest possible moment.
