| X1033 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}16/KW.13.12.35. Induction System for the Ph.III Stromberg Duplex Carburetter. Will you please make the first set of pipes in brass. We shall almost certainly want to modify them after test and this will enable us to alter the water jackets, etc. You will appreciate that Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} have decided that the first SpectreCodename for Phantom IIIs to be sold shall have Stromberg carburetters on them, so this is possibly the most urgent job that we have.
