To RHO. from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re SpectreCodename for Phantom III Frontal Appearance. It has been decided that the appearance of the sloping radiators shall be judged by making detachable shells which will fit over the vertical radiator. We send you herewith seven blueprints giving all the necessary information so that the shells can be fitted over No.2. radiator. As you are aware No.2. radiator will be higher than No.1. The designs show (a) a sloping flat shell, (b) a sloping Vee type shell. We have quarter scale models made, of which maybe you would like to refer. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
