[Handwritten signature: Noted] Herewith is PD.268 which shews the Front Engine Mounting for the straight engine in a Silver Wraith type frame. The closing up of the engine length has prevented the Wraith type high engine mounting being used, and it will be seen that the provision of a single central support rubber is practically impossible. We have therefore brought the span of the rubber V blocks in as close as possible, and arranged so that the points of oscillation can be varied height experimentally, to arrive at the best position.
