| 600. SECRET. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Wraith. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1. At the Intermediate Conference on the 5th you will remember that it was decided that all existing cars should be changed as quickly as possible to RR distributors. Would you please let me know the present position and when you will want WXA-1 for this purpose - (I assume I have got the Delco but have not looked.) 2. Re Engine Vibration, you will remember it was considered vitally important to have the comparison quickly between the amount of oscillation taking place on the nose of the crankshaft as compared with the 25/30. What is the position please? 3. Steering Pivots. It was decided that the steering pivots modification as on 27-G-VI should be applied to the other existing cars as quickly as possible so that the same point arises as Item 1 above. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
