Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} re SpectreCodename for Phantom III Chassis Frame. When the next SpectreCodename for Phantom III chassis frame is available we should be glad if you would make a simple test comparing it for torsional rigidity with the present Phantom 2, taking readings along the length of the frame. We require this data to show the effect of the cross and the boxing of the sidemembers, and also for use in connection with our coachwork problems. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} [Signature] | ||
