| 666 To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} R__/Std. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}19/G.4.1.39. RE: WING STAYS, LAMPS AND HORNS. SILVER WRAITH 80. 30-G-7. On PD.345 herewith we shew the wing stays, headlamps and horns for the Silver Wraith 80. A new headlamp bracket from that for B.5. and B.50 is needed to carry the lampforward to clear the bonnet. The headlamp tube is B.5. lengthened, up to 11.000 we now suggest to cover all possible wing shapes. The wing fixing is a standard P.111 and Wraith 11 piece and the horn bracket and tube forging are respectively Wraith 111 and B.5. Due to the position of the wing stay relative to the wheel centre it is now possible to use a B.5 pressing, but we hope to use the same pressing on B.50 and Silver Wraith.
