| 606. SECRET. E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /HDY. {William Hardy} 3/HP.17.3.37. c. H.R.S. Mr Eyre. Mr Naylor (Off: Dept) Wraith III Brakes. We have recently issued N.Sch.5039 showing a rubber stop on the servo which it is expected will enable the air dashpot at present provided to stop clanks from the front brakes, to be deleted. Although we wish to keep the dashpot and the fittings for it until more testing has been done, we understand that the chances are more in favour of the deletion than the retention of the dashpot, and, therefore, we suggest that the cost should not be included in the present estimates.
