| To By/NS.{Norman Scott} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Referring to the Ph.III water pump with Vauxhall type gland and bearings which you are drawing for us, in view of thedecision to reduce expenditure on Ph.III experimental work we wish to transfer this scheme to Wraith. We also wish to try a larger pump on Wraith, will you therefore please scheme and instruct a water pump for Wraith using the parts already drawn for Ph.III as far as possible, same rotor etc., and not proceed further with the Ph.III pump.
