We have recently been in communication with Donald Sessions Ltd., asking for revised blueprints of the outside tube of the hydraulic jacks for the Phantom III chassis. In reply to our first request Mr Sessions informed us that there was no alteration to the drawing we had in our possession, but we verified this by examining production supplies and find the threaded portion of the outside tube was different to that shown on the drawing, and we thereupon sent a sketch giving details of the parts actually being received. Apparently this alteration was suggested by Bowering direct with the people who are making the jacks for Donald Sessions and Mr Sessions had not been notified. He, however, has requested us to be good enough in future to always let him have copies of letters which we may send to the Works, and also confirmation of any instructions we may have given over the telephone.
