WIRELESS ANTI STATIC INTERFERENCE EARTHING ADAPTORS FOR FRONT BRAKE DRUMS. --------------------------------- With reference to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}4/H.1.7.37, re the wireless anti static earthing adaptors for the front hubs of our cars, we now understand verbally from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} that HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} thinks there is no difficulty in producing the stub axle with an extended centre which can be cut off as the final operation so avoiding the use of the plug shown on the present scheme. We, therefore, suggest that the stub axles of Wraith III. and Bentley III. be modified in this manner, and we would be glad if you would arrange to instruct the modification to the stub axle detail.
