PHANTOM 111 (SPECTRECodename for Phantom III) PRODUCTION CHASSIS. ------------------------------------------- With reference to the 12 Phantom 111. chassis which we instructed in the Works some time ago (not those for Olympia or for Demonstration purposes, which have been produced to Experimental Department's instructions), Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} is expecting these to be up to date, therefore we are revising our instructions and bringing them into line with the latest experimental chassis No.3. We are issuing instructions to the Works accordingly, with the exception of the following items, which we are holding up for the time being :- Cylinder Head. Carburetter. Exhaust Valves. Oil Filler for crankcase. Water Filler for radiator. Road wheels and hubs. Flywheel and Clutch. Clutch Linings. Brake Linings. Servo Linings. Undershield. Lifting Jacks. Hub removal Tools. In regard to the 200 sets of material which we are also instructed to put on order, we are working to the same specification as for SpectreCodename for Phantom III No.3, and the above parts are also being held up. In order to keep down the amount of scrap will you please let us know of any units or parts which it is considered should be modified, so that we can correct our instructions to the Works accordingly.
