Coverley - Production Engineer} /HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/HP.26.11.36. Wraith II Gear Box. Referring to the holdup of Wraith II gearbox, in order to incorporate the universal ring for preventing the 2nd speed coming out, RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} /HPS {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} has looked into the position of the original pieces and finds that they are only about 25% finished. As the details of the new pieces are being issued today, he considers that they will overtake the old ones, and no delay will be caused. If this is not agreed to there is nothing to prevent the old pieces being proceeded with. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
