| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X1166 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}29/KW. 23.9.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Front Jacking Pads to LeC.4499. In Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}12/KW.17.9.35, we called for pads to LeC.4499 to be fitted to SpectreCodename for Phantom III 2-S-1. These are not very satisfactory inasmuch that the surface area of the boss with which the buffer rubber makes contact on full bump is not large enough. Owing to the fact that this scheme is only temporary, no modification has been issued. However, we are anxious to increase the area of the boss and suggest that it be done in a manner similar to that shown on rough sketch. Will you please have this modification carried out on SpectreCodename for Phantom IIIs 2, 4, 5 & 6, the only four cars affected. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring} | ||
