Phantom III Weights.

F.{Mr Friese} DODD. What information can we supply? Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

We have noted with interest the weight analysis of 36-EX.

We should like to have a similar analysis of other P.III's with similar coachwork, for instance, 34-EX is not unlike it.

We took the weight of 35-EX, which of course has a different kind of body and found it to be 2 tons 11 cwts as in use by us for demonstration. This weight compared almost exactly with that of 56-UK, a P.II with an exactly similar body used by the Writer, its total weight in trim for the road being 2 tons 11 cwts 17 lbs.

If you have similar records of the original P.III with an Enclosed Limousine body, made in the first instance for a P.II and converted, we should like to have data of that car also.
