| S/W. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8900 CWB1/EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/23.11.25. 93-NK re:- Sales Trial New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I. Your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG. 21.11.25 noted, and I am proceeding to make arrangements accordingly. In view of the trouble which seems to have occurred with the new head light dipping mechanism on the car now being tested in France, I think it would be advisable to omit this fitting from this car and to leave the standard arrangements for mounting head lights. We have several devices [handwritten insertion: which have been proposed] for overcoming dazzle regarding which we would like to get some practical experience, and I will arrange for one of these to be fitted to the lamps.
