| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +376 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}2/KW.4.12.35. Phantom III Rear Brake Drums. In our memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}5/KW.16.11.35, we asked you to make 4 pairs of drums with deeper ribs. Since that date the Design Dept. have produced a drum for production Phantom III cars, detailed on G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 84005. This drum will differ very slightly from the one you have detailed, and so in order to avoid having drums differing from standard on our cars, will you please machine these 8 castings to this drawing. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F. Martindale. Att: G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 84005. | ||
