| To Bkl. from Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson}2/KW.28.5.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Replying to Bkl.3/27.5.35, the frame of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III is certainly a part that should be illustrated as it is a great advance on anything we have previously produced. The front suspension is of course another new feature, and has sufficient originality to be well worth illustrating. It being the first time that Rolls-Royce have produced a 12-cylinder car engine, one would assume that the public will be greatly interested in this. These three parts are the ones I think are of major importance. We will arrange as far as we can without stopping the job that the parts in question are available for your artist to sketch on Wednesday. Ha/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
