Wraith III Steering.
We attach prints Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}337/8/9 showing modified steering ball joints which we are trying experimentally on Wraith III.
The details of these joints have already been issued under the references By/TWD.{T. W. D???Aeith}3/E.16.4.37, By/HEB.{H. Biraben}10/M.31.3.37.
Will you please estimate the factory cost of these joints in comparison with the existing Wraith designs.
