Coverley - Production Engineer} Sft.{Mr Swift} HDY.{William Hardy}2/MN.4.5.35. GRY{Shadwell Grylls} SPECTRECodename for Phantom III GEARBOX. N.Sch. 4475 shows an inspection cover for the 2nd. and 1st. speed actuating levers, which we are providing at the request of the Gearbox Production Dept. There are also slight modifications to assist in the assembling of these pieces which we think will meet the objections made in RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}2/MS.3.4.35. The face of the boss for the fulcrum pin is moved out to suit the cover face and the faces of the bosses for the disc type friction device for the servo are moved inwards so that they are all flush.
