x306 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}3/JH. 21.1.36. Phantom III 32-EX. Brakes. Will you please make one lever Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}46, and fit it to 32-EX. before it does its 10,000 miles test. This lever replaces G.82809, and the object of the alteration is to reduce the pedal movement. We think the servo is amply powerful to provide us with good braking.
