| 1330. SECRET Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Smth. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hdy. {William Hardy} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Smth.14/AP.2.4.37. WRAITH TRANSMISSION Confirming our discussion with Hdy. {William Hardy} this morning, we think that it would be advisable to prepare designs for a propeller shaft damper on Wraith as early as possible. Whilst Wraith I. has given no indications as yet of requiring a damper, our experience with all our other cars leads us to expect that we shall want to fit it sooner or later and this seems a good opportunity to get the designs and details ready.
