Wraith III Engine.
We send you herewith:-
LeC.5580 showing the relief valves and external oil fittings.
LeC.5590 Wheelcase.
We have now cleared all the designs for getting the engine on the test bed. There are two remaining items, the controls and the wire fittings which we have well in hand, and which we expect to release before the detail drawings are issued.
The above are not essential for the test bed engine.
