Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/MA.23.9.35. SPECTRECodename for Phantom III IGNITION DISTRIBUTORS. Some provision should be made for a stop on these distributors to prevent the contact levers being depressed too much against their springs, thereby altering the set of the latter. A free movement of about .150" should be ample, at the moment it is over half an inch. It is vitally important, for the success of the high speed operation of these distributors, that adjustments be strictly adhered to as laid out in our specification which we are now issuing under separate cover.
