To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WSC.{W. S. Cassel} 619 HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WSC.{W. S. Cassel}4/VS.{J. Vickers}10.1.38. 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. HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WSC.{W. S.
