| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.2/AP.26.10.37. Our Experimental Shop have drawn our attention to the fact that the Wraith Radiator top tank passes rather close to the radiator shell at the top corners of the top tank, thus making it difficult to lace the Ferodo bonnet rest strip. They therefore suggest that these corners should be dispensed with and the top of the top tank blended into a radius, which will allow more room for assembly. we agree with this and would like you to instruct the necessary modifications.
