WRAITH CARS.

HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}2/VS.{J. Vickers} 21.2.38.

Replying to this memo about 25.G.VI and 24.G.VI we shall not change the frames but shall add the same modifications that have been instructed for 28.G.VI. We understand that the latest brake gear can be fitted to these cars without changing the axle tubes or hubs provided the drums are drilled to suit the hubs.
