| SECRET. 646. To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Copy to Ba. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} HFS. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. Wraith Rear Spring Pad. We send herewith LeC.5302 showing a modified and simplified rear spring pad for Wraith, which supersedes the previous scheme, LeC.5133. Only the spring pad forging has been modified. A flat face is now offered to the rubber insert between the pad and the spring, and all the depressions in the forging are on the underside. We realise that this scheme shows a rubber connecting link, but the same forging will be used on a scheme for lubricated connecting links which is in hand.
