SPECTRECodename for Phantom III.

We have asked you for various pieces at different times for the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Here is a tabulated list of the most urgent ones in their order of importance :-

(1) La{L. A. Archer} Salle steering.
(2) Exhaust system for test bed work.
(3) Spare pair of carburetters for use on the 2C/25 to investigate carburetter characteristics.
(4) Spare suspension pot for W. Bell's use to investigate shock absorbers.
(5) Modification to steering parts, shorter pendulum lever, etc.
(6) Hydraulic tappets brought into line with the present Phantom practice.

The La{L. A. Archer} Salle steering test is of the greatest interest because if we cannot get rid of steering shocks by using this type of steering, it will be necessary to reconsider the whole of the front end geometry of the car.
