| X312 To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.19/KW.7.5.36. Phantom III Clutch - Oilite Bush G.83571. Re By/SS.{S. Smith}4/J.6.5.36. We have not yet had an opportunity of testing the cheaper oilite bush N.Sch.4777. We think that we ought to tell the makers to make the dies for G.83571. If we should want to use a fully floating bush in the future we can utilise the present bush for this purpose by slightly increasing the diameter of the 1st motion shaft and the bore of the sleeve.
