[redacted] SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Front Suspension - Autoloc Damper Herewith is N.Sch.4568 shewing the oil filler for the dampers and springs. This is on the same lines as the existing one -- N.Sch.4450 but the modifications to the radiator to take shutters instead of a grille has necessitated a modification to the bend of the tubular filter. We have also shewn on here a reduced breather which, as shewn on Lec.4572 has the object of making the wing stay bolts more accessible, but is not absolutely essential. N.Sch.4568 herewith.
