| To HIC, c. to Ha/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW. 8.11.34. + 4644 SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Car Work General. Confirming our conversation of yesterday - (1) Only one set of austenitic cylinder liners should be ordered for the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. (2) The 10/37 axle ratio is too high. Any further axles ordered should be 8/34 or 8/33. (3) We should like an opinion on the new shock absorber with regard to its manufacturing difficulties as soon as possible. (4) The front appearance of the second SpectreCodename for Phantom III car will be much the same as the first. You will therefore require a second set of parts, similar to those to be sent to EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
