BODIES FOR WRAITH.
With reference to the attached note, we have no comments to make about the suggested 5th chassis, except that we shall not expect Sales to grumble about the Wraith performance if they continue steadily to increase the body size.
With regard to the 6th car, after our experience with 37-EX, we dislike folding cant rails, and if Sales prefer a coupe, we shall be very happy to fall in with their suggestion.
