| S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Fm...from Bkl. Bkl.3/27.5.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III. I am getting out the catalogue for the above, and have written to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} for a specification. As in the case of the "Phantom II" catalogue, illustrations of chassis parts will be put in amongst the specification. What chassis parts do you consider should be illustrated ? I presume there is a chassis available from which drawings could be made, and propose bringing the artist up to Derby on Wednesday next, the 29th inst, by which time you may be able to decide what chassis parts had better be illustrated. As both sides and end views of the engine will have to be illustrated, the artist can, if convenient, start work the day he arrives. Bkl. | ||
