PHANTOM III GEARBOX NO.8 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We shall be glad if you will bring this box up to date. The parts required consist of a new third and fourth sliding piece, and new second speed pieces, all of which should now be obtainable from production. We hope you will pay particular attention to the slack of the sliding piece, both on the splines and in the making dogs, even if this means fitting, in certain cases, new gears; these latter, if required, should be of the Rolls-Royce type.
