Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}7/N.17.3.38. Re: Phantom III Chassis - Water Pumps. 3.AZ.68 and 3.AZ.180. We are forwarding to you two pumps on which the thrust block and blades are worn. I see the thrust block is not made in Lignum Vitae, looks like bronze. The position is becoming worse.
