LEYLAND, Lancs

Dear Mr.Pilkington,

Unfortunately, there is so far not in existence, an arrangement drawing of the Phantom III. servo drive. We are therefore sending you a drawing of the Bentley arrangement, which is exactly the same but scaled down.

We are also sending you under separate cover a pair of gears which we think will probably be more useful than any drawing.

Yours sincerely,
