| x 312 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.1/JH. 3.7.36. Phantom III Clutch. When you rebuild No.3 unit for endurance running will you please fit a clutch driven plate to RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}164/5. This plate is the most promising we have at the moment from all points of view. You are already making one spare plate. Will you please make a further two so that we can continue the bursting tests and at the same time have a plate in hand for fitting to a chassis. We can supply the facings.
