Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}25/KW.19.9.35.

SpectreCodename for Phantom III II.

Will you please arrange to fit carburetter float chamber vent scheme LeC.4712 to the above car for 10,000 miles test in France. This scheme is very important because of the troubles experienced in France on SpectreCodename for Phantom III III with poor starting up of engine when hot.

Please note remarks re plugging up of existing float chamber vents.
