Re Front Bumpers - Wraith III. We regret that a modification to the design of the starting handle for the purposes of cheapening, has caused us to modify the design of the front bumper shown on LeC.5627, of which we sent you a print for the J.R.Engineering Co. to produce bumpers for 26.G.6 and 27.G.6. The modification is shown on the fresh print of LeC. 5627 herewith, and consists of an increase in the bow of the front bumper by ½". Would you kindly withdraw and destroy the first print of LeC.5627 which we sent to you and replace it with the one herewith to which the J.R.Engineering Company should be asked to work.
