| 623. To By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /McStay. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wym. {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 15/JH.28.4.38. Wraith Exhaust System. We are having trouble with EM.1656 stay in the front expansion box. This stay is "buckling" in service and allowing the front end of the expansion box to go hard up on to the oil pumps. We suggest that a tubular stay similar to the upright one be fitted. Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /McStay has been shown both the standard stay in a "buckled" state, and the tubular one we have fitted to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 's. car, and which is standing up satisfactorily.
