| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} S 1263 Cricklewood, Nov. 2nd. 1936. Phantom III - Petrol Pump Failures. Owing to the increasing failure of pumps on Phantom III which strands the Owner, I suggest for the time being, two pumps to be fitted working in paralell, the output from the two pumps to run into an expansion chamber to steady the action of the pumps. We are getting a bad name with the pump failures and until a reliable pump is produced the above would get us out of the difficulty. G.W.Hancock. | ||
