B1/NS{Norman Scott} c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} RC{R. Childs} File Wyman follow up. 600- DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}14/G.23.3.38. WRAITH 111. ENGINE. DISTRIBUTER. We have previously issued E.CD.515 Spring Drive for the RR. Distributer, for filing purposes only, but as the driving pin has been sheared on the RR. distributer as well as on Delco, we think we should be prepared to fit this spring drive. Herewith is E.CD.515 which has been brought up to date as regards the spring retaining ring, and can now be detailed. We believe the first 100 Wraiths have the RR. distributer specified, so that the experiment is rather urgent. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
