HARDY. Wraith II Steering. ------------------ With reference to our discussion concerning the assembly of the cam wheel bearing of the Wraith II steering, we find that the pieces which you have got are those for the original design. At the suggestion of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} it was arranged that Messrs.Ransome & Marles should make the cam wheel and its bearings as a unit, and we subsequently issued N.Sch.4866 showing a design for Wraith II based on the Adamant Engineering Co's drawing No. M.21196. We suggest that these revised bearing parts should be fitted into Wraith II box as soon as possible. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
