WRAITH 111, REAR ENGINE SUSPENSION.

Please receive herewith G.CD.477 being a completed design for the scheme roughly made and tried to G.CD.517, and which has been reported as promising.

The gearbox casting and main cross member are unaltered, but to give more clearance where found necessary and to facilitate assembly we have modified the centre rubber and rearranged the torque rubbers.

Please detail and instruct experimentally.
