To CJ. from R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} PN. {Mr Northey} 48310 R3/M20.6.25. WATER BOILING+ X. 766 *X. 8250 X. 8310 Regarding water boiling Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} definitely proves from experiments in France and Derby that the New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I is decidedly better than the Silver Ghost type. We expect further information when we have tested a different compression and gear ratio. We are doing all that is reasonably possible on EAC.7. to again increase the design of the radiator, as stated in a recent memo. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
