| S/W......Mr. c. to Mr. -> Lake Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} De/St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} 604 C12/C27.2.39 WRAITH CHASSIS. USE OF STABILISER WITH FLEXIBLE TOP BODIES. BYG/G21.2.39 I note that you do not think it necessary to fit the safety catcher gear on the Wraith stabiliser as the amount of work it has to do is very small indeed as compared with the Bentley. It is good to know that the movement is not excessive, as one always has in mind the nasty accident that happened to Barclay. C. | ||
