| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X306 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}11/KW.15.9.36. Phantom III Front Brakes. We have discovered a very unpleasant foul on the front brakes of this car which prevents the bell crank lever G.84118/9 from reaching the limit of its designed travel. The foul occurs between two nuts. The attached drawing shows the modification necessary to prevent it. Will you please quickly machine one lever as shown and fit it up with pull rod and pinch bolt so that E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} & Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} can examine it.
