| 354. To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}11/AP.17.12.36. PHANTOM III. Will you please make a set of bottom tappets in chill cast, cast iron. Similar tappets were made in the early days of Ph.III. and though not up to the standard of Fescolised were better than S/ZN cloud burst hardened tappets. In conjunction with the deletion of auto tappets, we should like to try a further set. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} | ||
