SpectreCodename for Phantom III.

Replying to Bk{A. Birkett - Commercial Manager}1.5/11.7.35, we will do our best to fix Mr. Clark up with a chassis slung on its side.

With regard to the titles of the drawings you have produced, I think you might add to the title - "Front Wheel Suspension" the words "...and shock Absorber". As a matter of fact, this drawing is not quite up to date, and we will show Mr. Clark the altered bits when he is in Derby.

The title "Equaliser Arm is wrong: it should be "Torsion Stabiliser". The sub-captions which Mr. Clark has pencilled in are alright except that for the word "Equaliser", the word "Stabiliser" should be substituted.
