Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} DI. 'SPECTRECodename for Phantom III' ENGINE. STAMP: SEC[...] ORIGINAL AL24.10.32. Handwritten: V z a a I was very pleased to see that the 'SpectreCodename for Phantom III' engine was not to be controlled by tax. I quite agree to the 3.250" bore, but I should like this engine and Bensport (J.1.) to be brought as near in line as possible, so that liners, valves, etc, can be interchangeable.
