| SECRET +346 LES [Signature] To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c.E. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hdy.{William Hardy} [Signature] Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/HP.14.5.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Front Roll Rod and Jack Pad. Herewith is N.Sch.4485 which shows the application of the temporary front roll rod to the revised lower triangle, and the additional of a jacking pad, also temporary in character until the hydraulic jacks are completed. This is intended to enable SpectreCodename for Phantom III 3 to be got away to France. We are now going into the permanent application of the roll rod to the front in conjunction with an additional cross member and hydraulic jacks. N.Sch.4485 shews a cylindrical pad for the jack, which is also used as the boss for the roll-rod ball end, and is intended to be used with a jack-top like the one in the right hand sketch. Another form could be used if the jack top presents any difficulties. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} N.Sch.4485 herewith. | ||
