E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Wraith II Gearbox. We send herewith N.Sch.5045 which shows increased clearance for assembling the 1st and 2nd speed selector levers. We have slightly modified some of the dimensions so that the same adjusting washers may be used as for the Phantom. The retaining plate on the 2nd speed fork is deleted as it is not now thought to be necessary. N.Sch.5045 herewith. E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /HDY. {William Hardy} | ||
