WRAITH CYLINDERS.

High Engine Mounting E.CD.273.

We have not as yet instructed EW.1580 Cylinder Blocks used in conjunction with the above, realising the doubt of High Engine Mountings; we would like your views; will you also let us know when you consider the right time to instruct.

The offset has been obtained by the adapting of a plate on our existing units, which we understand applies to the six production chassis.
