Draper - Frames} re Specification of Production Right Hand Silver Phantom. Attached herewith are 3 copies of the specification for the Production Right Hand Silver Phantom No.PL.259. 1 set of prints for Oy. 1 for Ashby and 1 for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. This specification determines how we would build the Right Hand Silver Phantom for immediate production and uses where ever possible parts which have already been tested and found satisfactory. This specification determines the basis for specifications for all other 8 cylinder models in the Senior Rationalised range. There is a specification for the Silver Dawn Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s special 33.G.VII. which is a close example of the production Right Hand Silver Phantom, except for the wheelbase which is 10' 10" instead of 11'11". Another example of the correct wheelbase is 30.G.VII. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
