| To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} x1004 6 x O Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.14/JH.3.7.36. We note that on Lec.5129, which is the scheme for Wraith top water connection, the Cee nut as per the old 20/25 is retained. Since we have now standardised the arrangement consisting of a length of metal pipe, two short rubber connections, and no Cee nut on the 25/30, we think this scheme should be used on Wraith as being cheaper and simpler.
