Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} b27 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.1/MH.{M. Huckerby}9.11.37. UNDERSHIELDS - WRAITH. As we are doubtful whether the Wraith under-shields as already made can be altered to give adequate ground clearance, we wish to make up an alternative scheme on the lines of our present type of shields on Bentley and 25/30 HP. We will put 26-G-VI car in the shop for this purpose, will you please make up a set of shields to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std's instructions, (no drawings being made).
