| To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} +304 E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/MN.19.6.35. Copy to Ex. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Re SpectreCodename for Phantom III Rear Wheel Arches. We are sending herewith an advance print of LeC.4560 showing the steel rear wheel arches for the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. As in the case of the front wings for the first cars we are obtaining suitable wheel arches from Messrs. Park Ward & Co., but it is hoped that on production we may be able to supply them ourselves. The wheel arches are made in 18 gauge steel and we suggest that they might be produced in the form of several pressings welded together. We are sending you this print as we thought you would like to make some enquiries early on. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: Print of LeC.4560. | ||
