| x346 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}8/KW.16.1.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Front Road Springs. We have reached a stage in our tests on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III suspension when we want to try road springs of the same rate as the standard 40/50 low rating springs. We attach herewith Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1715/6, which are marked up blue prints of 5" deflection springs. Will you please order us a set of these as soon as possible. We do not recommend using these for more than just experimental purposes, as it would be better if we had to use a high rating spring to alter the dimensions of the spring pot and obtain a spring of lower stress.
