| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X 328 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}8/KW.10.10.35. Chunking in the Drive - SpectreCodename for Phantom III. We shall not be satisfied until we have tried a flywheel of the same inertia as the Phantom II to overcome this trouble. We send you herewith Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2185, which shows an additional mass that can be fitted to the latest Design Office heavy flywheel to N.Sch.4571, the first set of which we understand will be ready this month. Will you please put this part in hand and balance it on the first assembly to be made. We realise we shall have to do without a clutch casing or clutch operating gear.
