c. WHS. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
Wraith III.
We send you herewith Lec.5782 Slipper Flywheel Springs (Lower Rating).
This scheme shows lower rated springs applied to the slipper flywheel on Wraith.
The previous springs had such a high rate that the poundage was quickly lost when the cotton ducks "settled down" during use.
