10/3 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Signature] SECRET. E.2/HP.21.6.37. Spare Wheel Mounting on the Wraith. Referring to your memo Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R.18.6.37, this memo states that some modification is required without further delay. I was not aware that there had been any delay up to the moment since this is the first report we have had that the spare wheel mounting is not satisfactory. We should like to have the results of your tests in connection with the location of the deflection as soon as possible, so that we can see where the design requires modification.
