WRAITH III. CHASSIS. REAR BRAKES.

Please receive herewith blueprints of C.CD.640 showing Rolled Section Steel Shoes on the Rear Brakes, designed to dispense with tipping shoes.
The construction of the fulcrum brackets is similar to that used on the Phantom III.
The toggle pieces remain unchanged with the exception of the jaw, which is a new part made suitable for attaching to the web of the rolled steel shoe.
