PHANTOM 11. (N.2 SERIES). RE USE OF BALANCED CRANKSHAFT.
-----------------------------------------
The Works are asking Order Office to release a further small supply of crankshafts. So far we have not introduced balance weights, and the Works have been working from hand to mouth, which they are still doing, pending a decision as to whether we should bring in the balance weight system for the balance of N.2.

Possibly you are in a position to give us some guidance on this matter.
