On scheme PD.146 two alterations are being made - (1) the wing stay pad will be detailed as pencilled on the scheme herewith. (2) The sheet metal pan connecting up the shell, wings and yoke can be made in three pieces as shown, or in one piece if desired. When you have digested these schemes and the details are available the writer will discuss them with you if any points are not clear. Confirming our conversation, you will guarantee us 50 replacement Phantom III oil coolers per week. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. Experimental Dept. P.S. We shall require the Radiator complete with lamp supports, and lamp support tube. | ||
