Sidgreaves - MD} from Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}16/KW.9.10.34. SPECTRECodename for Phantom III. The SpectreCodename for Phantom III has now done a considerable amount of road work. We have overcome the initial complaint of steering shocks by fitting a steering gear similar to that on the Cadillac. The riding of the car shows every prospect of being excellent. The stiff frame produces a refreshing impression of rigidity in comparison with the present Phantom car. Though there is still a lot of work to be done we think the car is shaping exceedingly well.
