| X.7740 To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} (From R). c. to BJ. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} R9/MMO.6.26. EAC. 8 CUTOUT. I noticed on this car that we have retained the toggle spring arrangement for the cutout. As we have managed to avoid this on the 20 HP. we must do the same on the Phantom, as the cost and complication is unnecessary and undesirable. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} will give the necessary instructions. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
