| X7-30. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ.2.2.32. X4117 To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} PHANTOM II EXHAUST - QUARTERLY COMPLAINTS. Further to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/MJ.1.2.32. We find that on the present cars it has been arranged that the exhaust cut-out shall only be fitted to Continental P.2 cars, and at customers request. This practice has been in operation for some time on Phantom II. We propose sending a Depot Sheet round suggesting that in cases where the cut-out is complained of, the cut-out could be removed and a blanking plate fitted at the end of the silencer so long as the customer agrees.
