| 356 W/S - Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}10/JH.25.5.37. You will perhaps recall we told you some time ago, that should we standardise the new wide rim wheel on the Phantom III a new type of disc would be required. This wheel has now been standardised and orders placed for wheels, I understand though that it will take 3 months for delivery, this should enable us to get a new disc made to suit the wide rim wheel in time. It is quite possible that the makers will require a wheel to prepare the disc, let me know if we can do anything for you. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/F.Dodd. | ||
