Hancock - Head Chateauroux} J306 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}9/AP.4.6.37 PHANTOM III. FRAME AND BRAKES. The hole in the outside of Ph.III frame through which passes the brake rod operating the front brakes has for some months been incorrectly marked off, and in consequence a foul occurs on many chassis. In complaint cases the hole may be extended to the rear by .170". The jigs to assist the marker-off do not seem as good as they might be. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F.
