| SECRET x308 To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ey. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} F {Mr Friese} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} E.6/HP.17.4.35. Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Carburetters. Referring to the revised four carburetter scheme for Spectre(Codename for Phantom III), I find I was in error in stating that the design for this had been sent through. Actually the design had been passed off for instruction, but was held up again for modifications arising out of certain small features which had been found to give trouble on No.1. Spectre(Codename for Phantom III). These are being dealt with now, and the scheme will be sent through shortly. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
