EXPERIMENTAL PHANTOM III. NO. 12 UNIT.

It has been decided to sell the above unit to Marstons in connection with radiator development tests for a nominal figure of £100 plus the cost of overhaul.

The unit is being sent over to the Repair for this purpose.

It is more essential that all the components are in good condition rather than adhering strictly to making it entirely standard. Particularly the bearings should be in 100% condition and include modification to the big-ends to bring them up to date with Hall's metal bushes.

If there are any doubtful parts or parts missing will you please apply to us, which parts we may be able to supply in order to keep the overhaul cost down to a minimum.
