GENERAL

1. Petrol Fillers

The question of designing these to protrude through the rear wing was discussed, but, as the Works are already committed to the present design of filler on the first 100 Wraiths, it was agreed that no alteration could be made on Wraith for sometime yet, i.e. at least 300 chassis. By, however, was asked to get out a scheme on the lines proposed for P.III, B.III and Phoenix.

2. Remote Control of Gear Change - Forward
