| HES KTO/F 604. E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 3/IBH.17.7.36. TO EST. [Stamped and struck through] Copy to Mr. Ha/Rs. {Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} HHH [Struck through].Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} /PD. Wraith II Bodies. We send herewith LeC.5181 and LeC.5182 showing 1/16th." scale designs of an enclosed limousine 'C' steering, and a continental touring limousine 'E' steering, on Wraith II. These correspond to two of the standardised bodies which are now fitted to the 25/30 H.P.chassis. We also append herewith a list of comparisons between the interior of these bodies and the similar room in the 25/30 H.P. bodies. Generally speaking, it will be noted that the rear passenger is 4" further forward of the rear axle in both cases, and that there is 2" more leg room and knee room in the rear compartment. This drawing also shows the frontal appearance. EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: LeC.5181. LeC.5182. | ||
