| 1642 By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/R.27.1.38. We have had trouble with the pipe which connects the shock absorber control governor with the frame, on the Wraith, due to the increased movement which we have to give to the engine. We recommend that this pipe should be made of flexible hose as on the Bentley. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
