In answer to your memo. re Wraith Introduction
we think that it would be better to explain A & B as follows -
(a) The servo and brake layout has been redesigned
throughout, and now gives much more powerful
braking with less pedal pressure.
(b) Increase in chassis size which has made increased
body space permissable.
