Left-hand Phantom II Chassis for R.R.A.I. ----------------------------------------- On Monday the 12th inst. OY. showed to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} his blue print 16981 for moving the front step-iron towards the rear of the chassis to be suitable for short running-board, and asked whether this could be incorporated in the Second Experimental Car. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} asked me to tell you that he has no objection, assuming that the carrying out of the scheme makes no material difference from the point of view of Production Chassis.
