WRAITH III. FRONT SUSPENSION.
-------------------------

The Experimental Dept. have made the following suggestions concerning the construction of the pan of the front suspension:-

(1) It is desired to delete the present surface plates FW.339 between the forgings of the lower triangle bearings for the front suspension and the pan. The thickness of the surface plate would added to the forging.

(2) It is desired to replace the .250 diameter rivets which secure the stiffener FW.1081 by electric spot welding.

We agree to both of the above modifications.
