| To Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} c. to By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 606 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} 23/AP.6.4.37 SECRET WRAITH BRAKES. The bell crank on the yoke piece of Wraith has an 'Oilite' bush and is, we think, the only brake lever which has not its bearing protected by a felt ring. Will you please issue a revised scheme with a felt washer included. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} is rather keen on this. Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} has promised to look into the matter when he has time. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
