| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} γ 600 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/AP.13.12.37. BRINGING WRAITH CARS UP-TO-DATE. The attached list of Whyman indicates the parts necessary to bring our Experimental Wraith cars up-to-date. We should be glad if you could make an effort to get the necessary pieces made and fitted to the cars, because we must confirm that what we believe to be the final Wraith specification is satisfactory and this can only be done by confirmatory tests on a number of cars. We should like to make an effort now before we become too involved on S.III. The Works will, of course, be waiting for material releases early in the New Year.
