Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}1/JH.29.3.39.

Wraith car 29.G.VI. C.I. Engine.

Will you please examine clutch and flexible flywheel on the above car.

A bad out of balance period has developed in this engine, and we suspect the clutch or flywheel. If however the trouble is not located here we would like to inspect the slipper wheel.
