To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} x30b Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/KW.19.3.35. Revised SpectreCodename 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 SpectreCodename for Phantom III at present is to get a satisfactory braking system, and the schemes for so doing are enumerated in E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}3/HP.6.3.35. We should be glad if you would let this have precedence over any other SpectreCodename for Phantom III work, in order that we may get it on No. 3 car.
