We thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}10/MA. 24.8.33. giving particulars of the Phantom 2 crankshaft, etc.

It now appears that left-hand Phantom engines will be ordered, and in this case the diameter of the crankshaft is 2.625" and the shaft has no balance weights, therefore, we should be pleased if you will give us another set of figures.

Arrangement of crankshaft E.79739.
