To: "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}"; DERBY. PARIS Sr21/Dn24.9.37 (Handwritten in red: 1243?) 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. (Handwritten signature) | ||
