Bailey - Chief Engineer} 346 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.14/AP.24.5.37 Ph.III. WRAITH WHEEL MOVEMENT. The rebound buffers for the above will not support the spring load allowing the damper piston to make a metal contact on the ends of the cylinder. A Design is therefore required for an improved rebound buffer similar to N.Sch.5030. N.Sch.5030 will shortly be running in France on 32-EX. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A.
