x3807 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}S/KW.18.10.34. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} has agreed that rear axle pinion bearings in the SpectreCodename for Phantom III in future shall be the Ransome and Marles type which we have tried in the Vulture, and which have successfully completed 500 hours rig test. There is one of these bearings, type 2.MDJT.35, still in the Stores, that has the wrong type of cage. Will you please return this bearing to the manufacturers for the correct cage to be fitted.
