Hancock - Head Chateauroux}8/N.24.1.38. Re: Phantom III - Water Pumps. With reference to your memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.3/JH.10.1.38. The complaints at Cricklewood have been the rotor blades fouling the case. It has been noted in all cases that the drive has been tight on the splines, also the gland packing has been so solid that there was no float in the drive. This has been released in many cases.
