Wraith II.
Clutch Casing.

We send herewith W.Sch.4853 which shows the above.

This casing is similar to that for the 25/30. The principal differences are the reduced diameter of flange for the gearbox, the absence of a front brake equalising shaft and attachment of the front brake dashpot to the clutch casing.

With regard to the clutch operation this is shown by L&C's 5147 and 5148 but the shape of the external operating lever should be as we show on this scheme.
