COPY TO WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} RE 8.CYL. DAIMLER. "25" Arrangements have been put on foot for us to receive a Chassis Print of the New Daimler "25" in the course of the day or so. In the meantime we thought that you might like to have the few dimensions given in the Autocar in tabulated form compared with those of our present production cars. Our final analysis will include also J.3 and SpectreCodename for Phantom III. At present J.3. has one more inch of body space than the 25HP. and would need a further 3.000ins. added to make the chassis really satisfactory for facing forward seats and a dropping division on an Enclosed Limousine. The SpectreCodename for Phantom III has the same body space as the Long Chassis Phantom 2. DIMENSION. DAIMLER 25. 25.R-R.{Sir Henry Royce} LONG CHASSIS PHANTOM 2.
