| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +312 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}12/KW.19.3.35. Slipper Wheel - SpectreCodename for Phantom III. We have received LeC.4419, showing how we can try experimentally the slipper wheel of the same inertia as with Phantom II. We should like to try this as soon as possible in No. 1 chassis. Will you therefore please detail and put in hand the necessary parts, which you will notice involves scrapping the timing case. We will let you have the chassis to fit the parts as soon as they are ready. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
