| To E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FB.10/AP.19.1.37. With regard to the question of fitting a set of over-riders to a Phantom III. for appearance. We find that all our bumpers are made of hardened spring steel and that it is impossible to drill. We shall therefore have to arrange for the J.R. Co. to supply a bumper bar already fitted up. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
