OVERHEATING - PHANTOM II.
-------------------------

Replying to Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 3/E4.9.30.

The tests which are at present being carried out on Phantom II for overheating include investigation to find out what possible gain we can obtain by reducing the undershields or modifying them.

We hope to be able to issue a full report in the course of the next few days.
