URGENT.

We send you herewith LeC.5319 of a modified cam form for Phantom III in which longer toes have been obtained by cutting back the base circle.

We also send you a copy of a letter which we have already sent to the Churchill Machine Company instructing them to proceed with a modified master cam, and the letter which we have received in reply.

Owing to the urgency of this job they are working direct from the LeC. but we should be pleased if you would prepare a detail drawing and issue the official instructions to them in the usual way.

E/PSN.

Att: LeC.5319.
Letter to Churchill Machine Co. 5.10.36.
