Wraith III - High Engine Mounting.
We send you herewith LeC.5569 showing a modification to the high engine mounting which consists of arranging the torque snubbers so that they can be initially loaded.
The preliminary experiments on the Bentley indicate that the above should be incorporated in the design.
