| 6HTT. 6110 To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}30/JH.18.8.38. re Wraith III and Bentley III Distributor Wiring. With reference to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/G.13.7.38. we have now converted one of the existing tubes (LEC.5638) to one conforming in dimensions to ECD.796, and have fitted same to 29.G.VI. No difficulty was experienced in converting the existing tube to the new design, and we recommend that all Wraith engines now being built should have this modification.
