| To CJ. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} PN.{Mr Northey} 48250 WATER BOILING+ X. 766 X. 8310 *X. 8250 Regarding water boiling Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} definitely proves from experiments in France and Derby that the New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I is decidedly bebter than the Silver Ghost type. We expect further information when we have tested a different compression and gear ratio. We are doing all that is reasonably possible on EAC.7. to again increase the design of the radiator, as stated in a recent memo. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
