| -2- Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} 10/MH. {M. Huckerby} 28.2.38. We have no report from you yet as to whether the 35° cams cure judders. In case they do not, we send you out more star springs, 6 of which when used with 40° cams and Hald 3L servo discs help us considerably. We find the star springs are best arranged in groups of 2 and 4, back to back in the usual manner. We note you think that Wraith has too much front braking on wet roads. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 495 will alter this and we think you ought to try it on the front equalizer, and repeat your impressions.
