Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} From Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} J 3Gb Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MJ.30.10.36. PHANTOM 111 ROAD SPRINGS. We are being told that Phantom 111's habitually ride up at the front. We should like to know what limits they are working to on the front springs of the Phantom 111 and whether in your opinion the standard can be adjusted so that the radiator is not up in the air. This point has arisen particularly in view of lack of visibility from the driving seat. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
