Wraith III Jacking.

At a conference in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' office yesterday, Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} pointed out that it would be inadvisable to equip Wraith with the Sessions portable hydraulic jack. In view of the large number of less expensive cars on the market fitted with hydraulic built-in jacking systems it would be unwise to employ four corner jacking on Wraith.

The decision given in E/I.id.1/HP.17.3.37 is, therefore, cancelled.
