| X 300a To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} c. to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}1/KW.17.6.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III 10,000 Miles Car. We wish to increase the front braking on SpectreCodename for Phantom III III now in France. The attached Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2041 shows how we propose to do this. The modification involves a new intermediate lever and a special jaw for attaching the rod from the servo to this lever to avoid making a longer rod. Will you please detail this modification and construct the parts as soon as possible. We propose to send the parts out to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} so that he can fit them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy. | ||
