NEW PHANTOMCodename for PHANTOM I SLIDING GEAR CONTROL. ----------------------------- CWB3/GM.6.12.27. This matter was drawn to my attention last Summer by MX.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} As a result we got out a modified scheme and submitted same to the Experimental Department for test. For HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s information the pieces were issued under BY/TWD{T. W. D???Aeith}1/GK.15(8)27. - the new parts were G.759C8 and G.75911. We think that the Experimental Department will possibly have some information on the subject already. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
