+300 W/S - Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.25.1.36. Phantom III Dummy Chassis. Replying to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}10/KW.22.1.36. We have only one dummy chassis at the Works, at present, and that is the one fitted with the Smith's Jacks. The Lockheed people have not finished their mock-up yet. In view of your request we will release the chassis fitted with Smith's jacks, in spite of the fact that this will interfere with our experiments. We should like to know where it should be sent. We shall try and get the Smith's jacks on to one of our running cars. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
