| X342 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW.27.6.35. Front Shock Absorbers for Cars being produced. SpectreCodename for Phantom III III now running in France has rather complicated precautions for preventing the piston seizing. We think that N.Sch.4551, a copy of which we attach, is much simpler than white-metalling and bushing the parts and that this should be made for the parts you are producing if it can be managed without delaying the job. In any case we would ask you to let us have 2 sets for SpectreCodename for Phantom III II and the Bump. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
