| Notes of Meeting. Chassis - RR. cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} SPECTRECodename for Phantom III. As indicated in Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}//T13.5.34 we expect to see a SpectreCodename for Phantom III engine at the end of this month and a chassis during next month. Chassis Electrical System - Fuses. Memo. E1/HP.13.6.34 was discussed and it was agreed that the recommendations therein should be adopted, and as regards vibrator control dynamo for 20/25 EY undertook to hold up material for "F" Series so that, if possible, we can introduce the new type dynamo on "F" Series and have the improved fuse arrangement on that series. Flexible Engine Mountings. Reference was made to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KW. 11.6.34 and E.10/HP13.6.34. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, said that we ought to know very soon what benefit would be derived by adopting the suggestion contained in the latter memo. In any case it is agreed that/we should take as much advantage as we can of a semi-flexible engine mounting if we cannot do it to the full extent as on some of the American cars.
