Bailey - Chief Engineer} /CS. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.1/MH. {M. Huckerby} 5.12.38. WRAITH FAN - LOCKING PLATES FOR ADJUSTING AND SECURING NUTS. We understand that in spite of the Experimental Dept's request for a locking plate on the nuts which secure the Wraith fan to the water outlet casting, and the Drawing Office instructions for same (on L.O.P.) before Wraith production commenced, the Works are only now about to commence fitting these lock plates. Accordingly we think that it should be instructed that when ever a Wraith car, which has not been fitted with this washer, comes into a Depot for any work whatsoever, the lock washer in question should be fitted - actually the fitting of same is only a 10 minute job.
