EAC.14. X. 8774 X. 8810 We send herewith a drg. shewing the wheel arch clearance for the Phantom sports chassis. The distance between the wheel arch is increased on account of the reduction bump, and also being a sports car with flared wings it is essential that we should keep these clearances at a minimum, even finer than those on our standard production. This information should be shewn on the coachwork print which you are preparing and we think that a half axi scale print, similar to the drg. herewith, would be a good thing to have for supplying to the coachbuilders during the early days in the history of this sports car.
