| 6139. NC [redacted distribution list] c. Pa{Mr Paterson}/Grys. BY/RD.5/B.4.3.38. WRAITH III CHASSIS. Owing to the use of laminated type floorboards on Wraith, the flange DW.151, at present welded to the footswitch cover, and the rubber washer, D.75652, which goes with it, will no longer be required. The deletion of these two pieces will enable us to use the standard 25/30 HP. type footswitch - LOP. D.54826, as the remainder of the material is common to both 25/30 and Wraith. Please note that this will cancel the footswitch to LOP. DW.154 previously instructed for Wraith. (6 Sets and 100 Sets). BY/RD. | ||
