| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} } X4694 SECRET. R4/M24.10.32. C. to SQ. WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 'SPECTRECodename for Phantom III' ENGINE. I was very pleased to see that the 'SpectreCodename for Phantom III' engine was not to be controlled by tax. I quite agree to the 3.250" bore, but I should like this engine and Bensport (J.1) to be brought as near in line as possible, so that liners, valves, etc. can be interchangeable.
