re Modified Oil Feed to Hydraulic Tappet
Mechanism - Phantom III

It was agreed at the last conference between
Experimental and Design Department that Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} should be
asked to examine the scheme of improved oil supply to the
hydraulic tappet mechanism (Lec.4900) whilst running
endurance on a test bed, with the object of ascertaining
whether it overcomes the complaints registered during the
last 10,000 miles test.

Will you please arrange this.
