Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 3/MN.18.8.36. 646 Wraith II Independent Front Suspension. Oil Filler for Shock Damper Main Housing. We send herewith N.Sch.4372 showing a filler and level indicator for the front shock damper, Wraith II. The spout is an aluminium alloy casting, and we suggest that the cap might be made a Dixstampo pressing, as the cap is not conspicuous when the bonnet is open, and there would not appear to be need for any nickel or plated finish. This filler acts as a level indicator and no dip-stick is required. Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: N.Sch.4372. | ||
