| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} [Handwritten] 600a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}8/JH.26.8.37. Wraith III car 26.G.VI. Will you please prepare and fit to the above car as soon as possible :- (a) Strengthened shock damper levers to LeC.5690. (b) Petrol tank complete to LOP,FW.1017. At the moment we have one of the lightened type petrol tanks fitted, and from the noise it makes on the road we suspect all the baffles are loose. The present shock damper levers are the obsolete type and rattle badly. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
