Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} Sr. [Struck through] Wraith Performance Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E10239 Handwritten in red: 600 Referring to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}S/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.2.39 I have not seen Sr's comment on the Wraith performance - possibly it was verbal when you were over there, but you will remember that it is a matter that has been discussed at chassis conferences. I should like to discuss the question of improvement on the lines indicated and the first thing to do seems to be to get a car with the alterations as quickly as possible so that we can try it. Possibly we shall have an opportunity of discussing this when I am at Derby on Tuesday next. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
