Revised Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Braking System.

This is to confirm the decision arrived at at the last Conference that one of the most urgent things on the Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) at present is to get a satisfactory braking system, and the schemes for so doing are enumerated in E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} 3/HP.6.3.35.

We should be glad if you would let this have precedence over any other Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) work, in order that we may get it on No. 3 car.
