PHANTOM III - OIL PUMP DRIVING SHAFT ASSEMBLY. ------------------------------------------ In looking over your proposals incorporated in drawing Wks.00A, your alternative Scheme B. is the best proposal, as it reduces the cost from 2/5 1/2d, for the present arrangement to 2/-, and at the same time gives us our previous standard system of serrated connections on both ends of the driving tube. We are going into this matter, and will prepare the necessary drawings. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
