Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Cts.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. RE LEFT HAND SILVER PHANTOM. Having now reached the date at which we hoped to have completed the schemes for the Left Hand Silver Phantom we would like to give you a report on the design situation. The following schemes are all but completed:- PL.98. Brake Linkages Hand and Foot. PL.100. Front Floorboards. PL.101. Side Spare Wheel Carrier. The following schemes have yet to be started:- Instrument Board. Petrol Tank Filler. Support for Ignition Coils. Support for Horn Relay Pedal Gap Plate and Foot Switch. Simplified Drilling. 3 Bolter Front Damper. Wiring Diagrams. It will be seen that none of these design jobs amount to much. The provisional Specification is complete and will be discussed at the Conference after which Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. will fill in the L.O.P's and issue it to you.
