WRAITH GOVERNOR UNIT.

We are running 26.G.VI in France with a Ph.III over-riding control valve spring and Ph.III main release valve spring. This gives the same governor pressures as used on P.III.

As we are now setting all our units in this manner, will you please arrange for the L.o.p. to be modified.
