| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}14.12.37. 635 WRAITH CAR 24.G.VI. We have been in trouble with pedal movement on our Wraith cars for some time, due to the increased engine movement with the new raised mounting, and a scheme to SCD.231 has been drawn to overcome this. Will you please make the necessary parts and fit same to 24.G.VI as soon as possible. The existing levers can be modified by cutting through and inserting a piece of metal and welding. It should be noted that this is for investigation work only on 24.G.VI. Attached prints SCD.231 and details EXS.328/9/30. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G.
