HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} c. SS.{S. Smith}_________ 1200 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R.25.6.37. WRAITH FORGINGS - PRESSINGS. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}3/MJ.24.6.37. We are as anxious as you are to release Wraith pieces. We believe in the long run, however, it would be to everbody's advantage if we refrained from releasing material until we have run a little way on the 15,000 mile car. This at present is going exceedingly well, and should be on the road within a week. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
