Wraith Chassis No.26-G-VI.

We have discussed to-day with Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}, Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}, and Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} the specification of the above car, and have carefully gone through every section separately.

We attach hereto complete analysis of the features that will be fitted, and how they will differ from the six cars now being produced by the works.

Every effort is being made to finish the car by Friday next, with the exception of the Front Roll Rod, (which can be fitted later) new horn button switch, modified steering controls. which deletes the Ignition Control lever, now automatic.
