re regulator resistance unit for Wraith.

We have examined one of the latest production units and find it has a resistance of 16 ohms instead of the specified 15 ohms. Investigating we find that it has been wound with 42 turns of wire, 40 turns of wire, as recommended in our report Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}7/MH.{M. Huckerby}18.11.37. will give the required 15 ohms.
