Wraith III 26-G-VI. a design scheme is being prepared for the rear engine mounting on Wraith cars which necessitates a modification to the gearbox extension casting. We attach herewith an advance sketch to "N" sch. 5185 to enable you to instruct for the necessary pattern alteration. We should like this design scheme of rear engine mounting to be fitted to 26-G-VI if possible before the car goes to France for its 10,000 miles test. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G.
