4304 F.{Mr Friese} DODD To EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} SECRET E.1/HP.7.3.35. c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} I.A. re SpectreCodename for Phantom III 3rd Body and other Experimental Bodies. This confirms my verbal instructions of this morning that we must make sure the armouring of the corners of the head on the above body, and any other experimental bodies shall have an ample radius in the corner of the sunshine roof, or where a sunshine roof might be fitted, as well as in the windscreen and door opening corners. Also I think we should specify some rust proofing process on the inside of this armouring. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
