Phantom III Petrol Tank.
We have received complaints that the suction pipe dithers at its natural frequency causing it to knock against the anti-surge tower on occasions.
We send herewith LeC 4944 showing a small thin brass pressing which will steady the tube in the mouth of the anti-surge tower.
Particulars have been given to the Experimental Dept. of this feature, and they have fitted it to a tank which they were about to build up for a car.

Att: LeC.4944.
