Battery Box - Section 7290.

The instructions previously issued for battery boxes on Wraith Chassis have been of the riveted-up type to facilitate assembly of small quantities, but when this comes on to production we shall use a 'one-piece' type of folded battery box and we have accordingly produced a design for same together with the LOP. and details. The prints of these parts are handed to you herewith for reference purposes. It is not desired that a box of this type should be put in hand for experimental chassis.
