| 4328 HDY.{William Hardy}1/MN.16.2.35. To EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Copy to WOT.E. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} AMG. SPECTRECodename for Phantom III GEARBOX. 3rd.BOX. The temporary scheme N.Sch 4298 appears to be satisfactory and we should therefore be glad if you would detail the permanent scheme, N.Sch 4320 at the earliest opportunity as it is desired to fit this to the 3rd. box which will shortly be built. The needle roller bearings for the loose gears to N.Sch 4321 are also to be fitted to this box. Will you kindly note that N.Sch 4321 is not quite up-to-date in that the flange retaining the 3rd.speed wheel has since been strengthened as shown by N.Sch 4345 and that this modification should be incorporated.
