26-G-Vl.{V. Lewis / Mr Valentine} (WRAITH). COACHWORK.

It will be necessary to pass on the criticisms contained in Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}11/JH.6.5.38. in the form of constructive suggestions embodied in a drawing to show faults with detailed pieces, shewing how we think the fault should be remedied.

We must bear in mind that the additional body stays will reduce the loading on the weak points, otherwise we may add unnecessary weight.
