EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} OKR. ~~JHG~~ Wraith II - Datum Back of Dashboard. We have moved the "Datum Back of Dash" line on Wraith II .500 to the rear. All drawings issued subsequently to this change will have two datum lines on the old and the new, and this will enable these drawings to be recognised. All drawings shewing only one dash line will, therefore, have been issued before the change, and the dash line will be .500 too far forward, for which allowance must be made in fixing the position of the component.
