Wraith Type Levers. The dies for the Wraith type levers which ran 10,000 miles were ordered under a misapprehension, and the levers are heavier than we intended for production, and we designed some of a lighter section to replace them (N.Sch.5033) As however we have dies for the original levers and those for the new ones will take some time, and P.III Series II may by that time be not far off, we think it not worth while proceeding with new dies to N.Sch.5033, so that any levers ordered now should be to the original design.
