X324 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.34/JH.4.11.36. Phantom III Cadillac Type Rigid Blade Fans. These fans, as shown on Ex. drawings, are to have aluminium blades and rivets. We do not think that this will be safe from a strength point of view. Will you therefore build up one of the fans as drawn, and one with duralumin blades and rivets. The latter one will be the one which will be fitted to 35-EX .
