Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.4/JH.9.8.37.

Bijur Feed Wraith Rear Shackles.

Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} has complained of excessive lubrication of the rear spring shackles on 26-G-VI in France.

Instructions now ask for a ZS.5 plug feed at this point on Wraith where as Bentley and 25 H.P. have ZS.3 plug. We have asked Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} to fit ZS.3 plug and should like the drawings to be modified.
