| Minute No. -4- RYS/B.4.8.33. 10. Item 12 on General Chassis Agenda. SpectreCodename for Phantom III. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} stated that the side by side rods as previously agreed upon make the SpectreCodename for Phantom III engine too long and he said that fork and blade rods will probably have to be used. He also stated that he had ready general designs for inspection and he would like these to be looked over by the Technical officials and to receive their criticisms and suggestions. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} stated that the inspection of the drawings will be arranged immediately after the holidays. 11. Peregrine. (Not on Agenda). The Peregrine position was here brought up and discussed. C. said that he was definitely opposed to making an 18 H.P. car unless we are eventually forced into it by the falling off of sales of larger cars. After some discussion Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} decided to shelve the question and revise it next March. 12. Item 19 on General Chassis Agenda. Standardisation Sheets. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} asked for the issue of standardisation sheets for the Bentley chassis although no doubt certain reservations would have to be made. He said this was necessary so that production could be controlled and the manufacture of parts which will ultimately be scrapped avoided or cut down to an absolute minimum. | ||
