SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Front Apron, etc. Herewith is N. Sch.4285 showing a modification to the front apron and wings, a model of which is being made at Park Ward's for inspection. The principal change is in the method of attaching the apron to the front wings, making the wings easier to produce. The dimensions are also slightly changed. We are not sure of the best method of making the apron, and have shewn it a pressing with pieces welded in to close in the roll at the front end, but another method may be preferred. The radius at the inner front end of the wing has also been increased. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ATT: N. Sch.4285. | ||
