Phantom 2 and Phantom 3 Turning Circles.

I am sending you herewith copy of Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.

We should now like to have the measured figures for Phantom 3 as it is now and with the modified steering lever fitted to clear the yoke nuts.

The modified lever can be made from the old forging by rebending.

ATT: F.{Mr Friese} Dodd - I cannot find the turning circles we took on SpectreCodename for Phantom III I. Can you turn these up? Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
