Bailey - Chief Engineer} Phantom 2 Vibrator Control. Replying to your memo Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/MA.28.7.33, what we are aiming at is a gold standard 10,000 miles test of the complete installation that will be used for Phantom. The final switchbox, patch and distribution board etc. etc. have never yet been tested, in fact we have some newly designed parts to make yet, so that this run will constitute a test of the electrical and mechanical soundness of the job as it will be delivered to the customer.
