W/S - BKL. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} 600. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}1/JH.16.8.38. 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. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
