WRAITH.III.

Will you please build up a trestle on which a Wraith III engine can be fitted to run for timing gear tests.

At present when we have to quieten or carry out any work on timing gears, the whole test bed is held up with regard to doing any other development work.

A trestle of this sort which could be used in the test house with temporary water and petrol connections would be extremely useful.
