| 604. To Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Ds. Wraith 25-G-VI. The following points have been noted, and require attention on future Wraith bodies. (1) On 25-G-VI the seating position is too high both in the front and rear compartments. (2) The front wings on both 24-G-VI and 25-G-IV foul the main lever housing studs, the number of this part is G.E.739. This will require the wing makers attention and possibly an alteration to drawing. (3) The front bumper bars have too much curve at the ends, and are within .500" of the wings. (4) Will the fact that we have now gone to 6.500 x 17 tyres, require alteration to coachbuilders drawings re wing clearance etc? On both Wraith bodies we have had to line the tail with felt to damp out tyre noises. We found that the tail of the bodies was not boxed in on the inside, thus letting in all the the road noises to the body. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /F.Dodd. | ||
