Coverley - Production Engineer}/Cy.2/LS.8.6.37. PHANTOM III. FRAME & BRAKES. We have investigated the complaint from GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} and find that an error of .170 has always been in the frame since the first chassis. We have taken up with Ws/Ge. who will alter his drill jigs to the correct dimensions, and also, incorporate our suggestion to facilitate cutting out the slot. Meanwhile we are clearing all chassis in Works and Test. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/Cy. Cy | ||
