| Ry. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6P8 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.9.12.37. WRAITH INDUCTION SYSTEM. The distribution of the induction system on the original Wraith was extremely bad. We have now got enough information from our experimental pipes to put the matter right. Our anxiety is to get a pipe drawn out from this experimental information, which could be fitted to the 15,000 miles' car, and also to the six production cars. We should be glad if this design job could be considered as being very urgent. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
