| - 4 - (24). DISTRIBUTOR. R.R. Distributor to be used. (25). REAR AXLE. We anticipate using the higher ratio, but the cost of these will be known, as they are already on production. (26). SPEEDOMETER DRIVE. The cost for this will be the same as for 26-G-V1. (27). DYNAMO AND WATER PUMP DRIVE GEAR. Until the evidence from France is available to show that the gear does not wear, but it will be necessary to cost this on the basis of a hardened and ground gear. The foregoing will completely release instructions for 100 sets of material for Wraith, and will therefore make it possible to give a price for the complete car based on the details specified above. The Section Leaders should note that no changes must be made to the specification without an instruction from myself authorising same. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
