+300 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} SECRET. E.3/HP.27.8.35. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ey. Sft.{Mr Swift} Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Detachable Bracket for Foot Switch - SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Facility for removing the clutch casings on SpectreCodename for Phantom III is impaired at the present time by the bracket for the foot switch being in one piece with the dashboard. This bracket has now been made detachable as shown on RR. Sch.876, and it is urgent that instructions for modifying the dashboard castings should be issued at the earliest possible moment. RR. Sch.876 also shows how to alter existing cars for making the foot switch detachable by cutting off the existing extension on the dashboard and fitting an extension to the design indicated. This modification should be carried out as soon as possible on all existing SpectreCodename for Phantom IIIs fitted with the old dashboard. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
