| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +350 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}13/KW.3.9.35. Modification to SpectreCodename for Phantom III Steering Lubrication, N.Sch.4579. Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} has reported that on SpectreCodename for Phantom III 4, (Paris Trials) they have lost a lot of oil from the steering box via the Bijur system. We therefore think that to overcome this N.Sch.4579 should be fitted to SpectreCodename for Phantom IIIs 4, 5 & 6. Will you please have the necessary parts made for this work to be carried out.
