26.G.VI - Wraith Car.

In addition to the jobs mentioned in Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}5/JH.14.1.38.
we would like you to

(1) Examine front road wheel pivots the steering became very tight on yesterday's long run.

(2) Remove present light gauge rear silencer (started to rattle badly) and fit a standard gauge one to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}400.

I understand there is one already made for 29.G.VI. which could be used.

(3) Examine rear main bearing - 25 CC's of oil leaked in 240 miles.
