Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}13/AP.13.4.37 WRAITH SIDE AND CROSS STEERING TUBES. Re. your E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}7/MN.6.4.37. So far as we are aware no difficulties have arisen in connection with the adjustable side and cross steering tubes for Wraith and Ph.III. The length of time necessary to get these features on test is mainly due to the sinking of dies. The forgings are now in the works and the scheme is to be fitted to Wraith. The Ph.III. scheme will be fitted to the next 10,000 mile test car. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
