Wraith Radiator Mounting - SEC.5250,7000

Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.7/MH.{M. Huckerby}11.5.38.

We have compared the costs of the two schemes for the Wraith Radiator mounting , i.e.SCD.569 with"Firestone" Mounting Block No.42234 and the standard mounting on the Wraith production chassis, the result, showing a saving in factory cost of approximately 4/6d per chassis on the former scheme.

In the cost of the new type mounting (SCD.569), we have estimated the"Firestone" Mounting Block as bought out at a cost of 1/- each.

Consideration should of course be given to the question of tool costs incurred in respect of existing pieces.
