| 8304 W/S. To JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.32/AP.12.11.36. VISIBILITY FROM PHANTOM III. We are told that certain cars have bad visibility from the driver's seat owing to the front of the car being high relative to the rear. Can you therefore let us have a list of measurements for front and rear buffer clearances of the cars which are being criticised. This can be done with the car empty. For the front of the car it is the measurement between the buffer on the lower triangle and its stop and for the rear of the car the distance between the buffer and the axle.
