We attach herewith a list of the design work completed on the Phantom III chassis during the last month, and in addition particulars of work at present in hand. The main item of design work on this chassis has been various small schemes in connection with overcoming the over-oiling trouble. A scheme has been completed and issued for a thrust stay between the engine and gearbox, and we have also issued a design for a standard S.U. petrol pump to be used in conjunction with the R.R. S.U. twin pump unit. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
