WIRELESS AERIALS 2nd and 3rd SPECTRECodename for Phantom III. As the second SpectreCodename for Phantom III body is fully panelled and the roof is all metal we do not propose to allow Messrs.Park Ward to install the aerial but we will arrange to do this in the most convenient way ourselves when the body comes up to the Works. With regard to the body for the third "SpectreCodename for Phantom III" we wish the aerial which is in the hands of Messrs.Park War's to be installed in the roof so that the roof panel should be non metallic like the Cadillac i.e. varnished fabric covered wood or other non metallic panelling. The edges of the aerial in this case should be at least two inches clear of the edges of side metal panels where they joint the roof panel. With regard to the installation of the set in the third SpectreCodename for Phantom III we would like to discuss this with you. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
