Wraith III Back Axle.

We send herewith H.Sch.5108 showing a modification to the shape of the axle tubes adjacent to the hubs,which has been asked for by the tube makers to facilitate their work.

The taper portion between the hub and the spring bracket has a slower taper.

The spacing of the taper pins in the spring bracket is modified.
