| SECRET 7346 To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E.3/HP.13.5.35. c. Der. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Suspension of SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.6/KW.26.4.35, and SpectreCodename for Phantom III suspension generally, I am sending you herewith a blueprint of LeC.4449 showing chart of ground clearances which we expect to obtain on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III chassis with various tyre sizes. These figures also involve the use of the yoke pieces for the front suspension raised 1". We should be glad to know in due course how the actual ground clearances measured with the chassis standing on a level piece of ground, compare with the figures given in the chart.
