To HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Smth.

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Smth.10/AP.2.4.37.

PHANTOM III. TRANSMISSION.

We want to try a propeller shaft damper between the clutch and the gearbox, and as near to the clutch as possible. To accommodate this we should have to replace the fabric coupling by a laminated steel one similar to the one at the other end of the shaft.

Will you please detail and prepare the necessary pieces.

Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Smth.
