| To Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wym. {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. c. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.4/MH. {M. Huckerby} 15.12.37. top WRAITH BODY MOUNTING. The flotex body mounting on Wraith cost £2 per chassis more than the Ph.III type of rubbers. It is important that 26.G.VI should go to France without flotex mountings provided the Ph.III type rubbers are equally effective for tyre noise etc. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} would like you to try the Ph.III type rubbers on a suitable Wraith as soon as possible so that an early decision can be made for 26.G.VI. It will be quickest if you obtain the necessary rubbers. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. | ||
