| To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/A.E.Clark. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 113 Kingsbury June 10th.1937 With reference to your memo RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/A.E.Clark.3/MND.11.6.37. No.2. item refers to, 25/30.HP. not Phantom III. Re RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/A.E.Clark.2/MND.11.6.37. The lever I reported fouling the throttle spindle is still found on Ph.III. coming into the Cricklewood Depot. The cam fouls when the throttle is fully opened and prevents the correct stop coming into action, thus putting a strain on the throttle spindle. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W.
