Nasty! To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/MJ.18.7.31. X7050. PHANTOM II CYL. HEAD. When I was at W.W. the other day you mentioned that you thought the Phantom II cylinder head had been modified, making the sides of the combustion chamber parallel. This is not the case.
