| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/WA.{Mr Wallis}13.12.34. SPECTRECodename for Phantom III. Next time the SpectreCodename for Phantom III is available in the shop will you please have the dynamo carcase redowelled in such a position that the terminals are well clear of the side bonnet valance. At the moment whenever the car is jerked violently the dynamo terminals short circuit to the frame. Will you also arrange for the speedometer tobe handed to us for recalibration at the same time.
