SECRET. 600 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}12/JH.5.3.37. Wraith III Engine Mounting. Will you please arrange to fit to 24-G-VI the raised engine mounting to Lec.3550. The torque rubbers we are not in agreement with because no provision has been made for adjusting the load, but we have a similar scheme adjustment on 8-23-AR which we should like you to copy. If you could build this mounting up more as a temporary scheme for this one car instead of waiting for details etc. it would help us enormously, as we know we have quite a lot of work to do to it to obtain satisfactory results.
