| 354 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}16/R.20.1.37. PHANTOM III VALVE GEAR. The matter of costs still remains controversial, and though Ws. appeared fairly enthusiastic over the fitting of butting wedges RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} appeared to be the reverse. As you will see from the attached note from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}, we are trying them out, but surely it will be possible to produce some simpler scheme.
