| RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 326 GRY{Shadwell Grylls} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. H.Day Mr.RMG.Mr/HDY.{William Hardy} E/HDY.{William Hardy}1/HP.5.6.36. Phantom III Gearbox. With regard to the scoop lubrication scheme for this box, we should like this brought into production as soon as after the 10,000 mile test has been passed as is convenient without making scrap. We understand that the scheme is fitted to the present 10,000 mile car 32-EX. The gears fitted to the box of this car are of the cadillac type. The box used for the dynamometer test of the back axle differential casing has been drilled through the 3rd motion for the oil feed so this feature has passed the dynamometer test.
