Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4304 E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/MN.15.7.35. RE CHASSIS PRINTS - SPECTRECodename for Phantom III We send herewith LeC.4604 (2 sheets) showing the Chassis Print for SpectreCodename for Phantom III, which until the Show is to be known as Olympia 40/50 and later on as Phantom 3. As the relationship between the body and chassis of SpectreCodename for Phantom III is so very involved we think that a single 1/8th.Scale Chassis Print is of little use. These drawings LeC 4604, will form the basis of the final Chassis Print, but they will need revision for the Production Cars. At the moment they are applicable to the first nine Olympia Show chassis only. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: LeC.4604.(2Sheets) | ||
