Handwritten: GRY{Shadwell Grylls} Should like to have your suggestions Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} boo To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}2/VS{J. Vickers} 21.2.38. WRAITH CARS. We have now modified 26.G.VI, 27.G.VI and 29.G.VI, and a specification is to hand for 28.G.VI, completion of which will take about fourteen days from receipt of the car. This leaves us with 24.G.VI and 25.G.VI to complete. The last two numbers, as you realise, are very obsolete, and we should therefore be glad if you would have specifications drawn up to let us know exactly how far you require the cars bringing up to standard.
