| K/W. Byr Mr. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} H.S. 166 CRICKLEWOOD. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/DPB/10.8.37. PHANTOM III. FRONT HYDRAULIC JACKS. -------------------- Cricklewood wish me to bring to your attention the inaccessibility of the front jacks in servicing. To remove a jack for damage or leaks, the whole front of the car has to be dismantled. This means radiator, front apron, wings, wiring etc. and to remove a damaged jack, the front cross member. They are anxious for future cars and would appreciate your views for future design. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
