HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}2/HP.6.2.37. Wraith II and 25/30 HP. Chassis. We attach herewith a list of the design work completed on the Wraith II chassis during the last month and also particulars of design work at present in hand. The main scheme for the revised engine has been issued in order to enable detailing of the large pieces to be provided with; work is proceeding well on the remaining schemes and these will follow along quickly. A considerable amount of design work has been done with the object of reducing the cost of the chassis as a result of experience gained during the erection of the first chassis, and this work is still going on. No design work has been done on the present 25/30 HP. chassis during the last month. ATT: E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
