Huckerby}5.10.38. One of the first jobs we want you to do on B.50 when you get it running again is to get the lightest and simplest rear engine mounting you can for this car. Owing to the sensitive frame on the Wraith the rear engine mounting has become a very large piece of apparatus. We suggest that the B.III frame would enable us to simplify this enormously.
