Vickers}26.4.37. SECRET. WRAITH III. We understand that the serrations on the front axle pivots of the above chassis are to be deleted, thus rendering obsolete 3 sets of these pieces which have been completely machined. In view of the foregoing, we consider it is essential that we be notified of any contemplated modifications before ordering replacement material, and we shall therefore be obliged if you will inform us accordingly and thus prevent any further time wastage.
