Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to RG.{Mr Rowledge} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} c. to EY. ORIGINAL. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG16.11.26. x4117 x4118 COMPLAINTS - PHANTOM & 20 HP. Attached herewith is a list of the principal complaints on the 20 HP. and Phantom cars dealt with by the Repair Dept. for 3 months. We think this information is particularly valuable because it shows the faults which develop when the cars are in the hands of customers. It will be seen that in most cases a cure for the complaint has already been standardised, or modifications are in hand, but this does not overcome the fact that there are a number of cars on the road with these unsatisfactory parts fitted to them.
