Phantom III - 3.CM.161. ------------------ A Phantom III has come into K.{Mr Kilner} with a complaint of the top gear coming out of mesh on the over-run. It comes out regularly in approximately a hundred yards. Birkett has been on the 'phone to LA.{L. A. Archer} about it. The selector is working satisfactory and the gear appears to go fully home. Is there any modification that can be carried out? Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
