| 56127 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Ha/Wst. Ha/Wst.9/MA.27.1.36. PREVENTION OF FIRE ON PHANTOM III ENGINES. Will you please instruct as quickly as possible for insulated sparking plug terminals to your drawings Ex.20734-5-6-7-8-9 to be made and fitted to Experimental Phantom III engines and also demonstration cars. At the moment the experimental cars requiring these terminals are chassis 30-EX, 32-EX, 33-EX, 34-EX, & 35-EX., and terminals for these cars should be made up and fitted as quickly as possible. With regard to the demonstration cars if you will proceed to make the terminals we will get in touch with Sales with a view to these terminals being fitted at the earliest convenience at Lillie Hall. The cowls for the inlet plugs should have the skirt reduced in length .150". Ha/Wst. | ||
