| 663 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}7/JH.2.12.38. WRAITH CAR WXA.2. We have had trouble with the centre expansion box on the exhaust system of the above car because it is made in mild steel. Will you therefore please instruct for another box to be made in "staybright" and fitted as soon as convenient. At present the car is being used by Sales for demonstration purposes. We should like the rubber suspension pieces on this box only turning through 90°, similar to the one on 8.B.V. This will require a new bracket on the frame.
