| 76090 To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. By/RD. E.3/HP.18.7.34. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Switchbox - RR. Sch.419 and 626. We are very interested in the progress of the above switchbox, as we most particularly want to have a look at it and all its various features before it is fitted to the chassis. You will appreciate that in the design of these small electrical gadgets it is more necessary to work in conjunction with the model than with other portions of the chassis. Would you kindly let me know, therefore, when you expect to be able to show us the model. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
