| To By: x302 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/KW. 26.6.35. Rear Axle Pinion Bearing - SpectreCodename for Phantom III. We see from detail drawing G.83388 that lubrication slots have been provided. Ransome & Marles have 'phoned us that they prefer not to have these slots and we have agreed that they are not necessary on the bearings we have ordered. They are not used on the experimental cars nor any Bentley. Will you therefore please have the drawing altered and get the O.O. to send information of the change to Ransome & Marles.
