HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/ESC.2/CB.30.9.38. There seems some doubt as to what this car should be. It should be the same as 2.B.50 except for the necessarily longer pieces and Front Apron - being drawn by Lv. Front buffers - DR. Steering column - PD.188 Dashboard - up to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Radiator & Bonnet - R.R. shape. As regards G Dept. the gearbox should have standard ratios and small cones. The axle of suitable track with the old type tube should be 9/37 ratio, 45 mm half shaft and Timken bearings. An index sheet is required from E Dept. When first built this car will have an existing Wraith III engine. It will later be changed for a B.60 unit. Instructions for the unit and its mounting will follow.
