WRAITH III.
STEERING BOX FW.905.

We understand that Messrs. Leys, who make these castings, are unable to position the steering stops to the limits called for in the sectional elevation on the above drawing.

In order to prevent the steering movement being restricted, it will be necessary to machine the stops to within the limit shewn.

Will RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/Wld. please arrange for this to be put in hand.
