| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les Please let me have report Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E.1/HP.3.1.36. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} re Phantom III Transverse Chassis Stays. We should be glad to have a report on the transverse chassis stays that have been instructed to stiffen the frame against lateral vibration and movement, and to obtain the value for these it follows that they should be bumped under the same conditions as when the previous results were demonstrated. The final results will naturally have to be interpreted on the road with a body fitted, and under these conditions we could obtain a test with the stays bolted and unbolted in position.
