| Notes of Meeting cont'd SPECTRECodename for Phantom III. This chassis has been completed and has done a limited amount of running. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} thought that it would be fit for us to try in about 10 days' time. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} inspected it. Unfortunately the radiator had been removed but it was considered to be very poor from the point of view of appearance and something definite will have to be done to the front part/to make it satisfactory. Re Dubonnet Suspension. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} said that the work in connection with the fitting of this to one of the experimental cars had been going on. The Dubonnet people had got the parts ready and 19-G-IV would be going over there shortly for it to be fitted up. It was still considered to be a useful experiment. (P.T.O. for Aero notes) | ||
