| W/S - Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} X360 ? Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/KW.18.5.36. Phantom III Dummy Chassis. Referring to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}14/KW.15.5.36. Lockheed's have not yet completed their jack work on the Ph.III dummy chassis. They have been modifying them from time to time to keep in step with the information we have been obtaining from the Sessions jacks. As we are still in trouble with the Sessions jacks we are particularly anxious that we should complete the Lockheed arrangement, to have a system in reserve. We therefore do not wish to part with the chassis until the experiments are completed. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
