| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X7005 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}16/KW.4.5.34. We propose to apply the Terraplane engine mounting to the Phantom as soon as we have finished the Bentley and the 20/25. I want to put some engine rubbers on order for the front and these will naturally be bigger than the 20/25 in the ratio of the weights of the respective units. The figures are as follows :- 40/50 HP. 1083 lbs. less Plugs and Fan. 20/25 HP. 711 lbs. less Fan. Will you please make a sketch of the Terraplane rubbers scaled up so that I can order some.
