Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}12/MH.{M. Huckerby}2.3.38. WRAITH STEERING GEAR IN PH.III - 39.EX. The specification of the above steering gear calls for a new cam and roller follower. We have these parts but as they are to new drawings we think it would be wise to assemble them in the skeleton Wraith box to make sure that they work together satisfactorily. The rockershaft now in the steering gear of 39-EX is the only one suitable for trying these parts. Will you please remove this shaft, fit to it a roller follower to F.89669/70 and assemble with a cam, Adamant No. M.22638, in the skeleton box. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J.
