Wraith III.
We attach herewith as requested a revision of the "gold standard" specification originally issued under cover of E.2/HP.15.2.37.
The revised specification differs from the original by being brought up to date with regard to the agreed R.R. type of independent front wheel suspension, the wet liner type of cylinder block, and the recently agreed frame modifications.
In addition it gives details of designs completed since the date of the original specification.
