| X. 8600 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EAC.6. - NEW PHANTOMCodename for PHANTOM I WHEEL CARRIER. Herewith we send N.sch.2023., shewing a proposed form of wheel carrier for use with the new PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I chassis. The step iron has been modified as compared with those previously sent, to suit the new position of the wheel, which we have discussed with the coachbuilders, and which has been agreed. As we are very anxious to get this wheel carrier question settled, we hope this experiment will be pushed on as fast as possible. We should like you to make one for sending to Mr. Royce and one for sending to London. Mr. Royce was hoping to get one of these on his car 7-EX. We do not know whether this is possible.
