Phantom III Radiator.
-----------------------

Replying to your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std5/MH.{M. Huckerby}23.9.37, we have had no serious complaints of radiator shake on the Phantom III.

I am pleased to see that you are back, and hope you will be coming over for the Salon, as I would like to discuss with you the stream-lined job which is well ahead and the small model has now to be wind-tunnel-tested on Monday.

The [REDACTED] model itself is actually on my desk now, and looks very fine.

After the tunnel tests I will give you the speed figure with 140 BHP and 160 BHP.

Sr.
