WRAITH III. REAR SPRINGS. A.F.M.

Please receive herewith the following scheme :-
F.CD.978 Modified Front Anchorage Bracket.

The above scheme shews a simplified method of attaching the spring anchorage bracket to the frame.

The Works are having forging difficulties with the bracket at present used on production.

The new bracket should be lighter as well as cheaper than the old one.

Please instruct experimentally.
