NEW PHANTOMCodename for PHANTOM I CYLINDER GASKETS Confirming my telephone conversation with you today, we have now tried a number of these Gaskets, and have gone sufficiently far with them to be able to say that they are quite satisfactory, and I feel they are an improvement over the ones we have been previously using. I think you would like to know this, as you might wish to order further supplies, as it would probably be a long time before every one of the first 50 will actually be despatched on Chassis. If you wish me to report further on them at a later date, we will do so. Mr. [Signature] | ||
