| 46684 To EHC. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}10/KW.5.11.34. SpectreCodename for Phantom III No. 2 Chassis. We should like to measure the change in castor angle on a SpectreCodename for Phantom III chassis under front brake torque, as we have recently carried out on the Bentley Bump chassis. Would you therefore please fit to the chassis you are building in the shop a front tray, top and bottom arms, yoke and front hubs. It will then take us about 2 days to get our measurements and we could return the chassis to you. The bottom arms will probably be bent during test, but it is that which we want to discover.
