| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} [Handwritten]: 307 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.20/KW.11.6.34. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Camshaft. We suspect that the camshaft instructed for the SpectreCodename for Phantom III may not give sufficiently good slow running, and should like you to make a camshaft for this engine in which the exhaust cams have the same form as the inlet, and with an angle of 114° between the cams.
