Coverley - Production Engineer}8/MJ.9.4.37. WRAITH III FRONT HUB. Referring to R/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/WH.19.3.37, we have taken this matter up with Mr. Wheeler and it is considered there would be great difficulty in maintaining the limits specified on the drawing in a die casting. It would also be a difficult piece to machine and assemble. We have since taken this up with the Design Dept., and they have agreed to re-design this piece. RHC.{R. H.
