| BY E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} from. R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X7080 R1/146.2.28. X.8940S X.7080 X.7230 X.7070 STANDARD PHANTOM - NEXT 10,000 MILES. This is expected to be ready by ................. Supposing Mr. Elliott can be spared to come here it will be good if he came by this car and stayed here a few days, sufficient to settle a few outstanding points, and then to save time he could return by train - 20 hrs. journey. If this be arranged we shall be able to make my rough drgs. of the sports Phantom carb., (RR. staright through expanding) understandable and suitable for the space available. It is to be hoped that the axaw slot induction pipe will be tested, and will help make it possible to finish with the exhaust heat and the objectionable valve in the exhaust pipe.
