It has been decided that the oil tank on the dash for the hydraulic jacks on the above chassis, should, instead of a special tank, now be the same as the standard Sessions tank, with the exception of the depth of the tank body, which is of necessity, smaller on the Wraith III; Since the tanks have not yet been ordered for the Wraith III, will you please arrange to order same to the following L.O.P. for 6 sets, accordingly :- FW.1474 L.O.P. Oil Tank on Dash. - replacing FW.763. We attach to RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/CAN's copy tracing of the above LOP, together with tracing of FW.1473, which is included in same, and is new to production. We attach to HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/RH{R. Hollingworth}'s copy, one blue print of FW.1473/4. The index sheet of LOP's will be modified to suit. This cancels our previous instructions for 6 sets given on memo By/HEB{H. Biraben}9/WB.{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell}13.10.37, for this section. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} | ||
