Phantom III Front Suspension Levers. Referring to your report Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/LES.11/KW 31.12.35 on the failures experienced with Phantom III front suspension levers, this is to confirm that we have dealt with this matter in memo E.1/HP.20.12.35, and that also in memo E.2/HP.20.12.35 to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} we are asking for the rapid preparation of a pair of suspension levers and pins to N.Sch.4716. We anticipate considerable improvement by leaving out all the keys except two, as shown in this N.scheme, and we should like to know if possible when it is anticipated this improvement can be bump tested.
