| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 1166 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/MH.{M. Huckerby}25.1.38. HYDRAULIC JACKS - WRAITH. Wraith cars are fitted with guards to prevent damage by stones of the rear jacks. Such damage takes place during fast driving on bad Continental roads. The present guards stick out below the jack and after a short time bend back and prevent the jack retracting. We have not got these guards on P.III and recommend they are omitted on Wraith.
