To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c.c. to CJ. BJ. c.c. to RH.{R. Hollingworth} c.c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} EY. c.c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 'PHANTOM' RADIATOR SUPPORT. We find that we get excessive wear on the sphere supporting the radiator on the Phantom. The radiator has * increased in weight considerably since this design was first got out. We recommend the bearing surfaces should be increased considerably. We are sending to W.W. sample of worn bracket. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
