| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}3/WH.8.10.37. 650 WRAITH STEERING. Re your HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WSC.{W. S. Cassel}9/BA. 7.10.37; will you please fit Yoke pieces EXS.82 to 27-G-VI. The steering of 24-G-VI joggles more than the other Wraith chassis due to its having an oversize hand forged centre steering lever. Will you please replace this by an up-to-date lever and also fit an up-to-date rear side steering tube joint, the next time this chassis comes into the shop.
