| ORIGINAL FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M7.10.25. Copy to - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} NEW PHANTOMCodename for PHANTOM I LOUVRED BONNET. X8260 WE send herewith N. scheme 2064. shewing the new type of louvres Mr. Royce would like trying. We should like the length both vertically and longitudinally of these louvres to be the same as on the bonnet on 7-EX., in fact, if they could be made to go exactly onthe same bonnet as 7-EX. it would afford a good comparison. In pitch and shape they are of course to be like N. scheme 2064. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
