Coverley - Production Engineer}~~ ~~HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}~~ SJT) Which R/SDD -------------- Re Phantom III New Standard Bonnet. -------------- We have been informed that the Sales Department approved of the fitting of the existing 11° slope of side shutter to the new standard Phantom III bonnet. This has been done as no tools were available for producing the 11° slope of shutter as designed. On a blueprint herewith we have marked the position of the shutters on the side plate and would be glad if you would kindly issue the necessary instructions as the Works wish to make this change at the earliest possible moment. At the same time it will be necessary to modify the chassis print and to issue to Sales a supply of modified prints. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: | ||
