[handwritten] E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/MN.10.11.36. ----------------------- Side and Cross Steering Tubes - Wraith II. ------------------------------------------- We send herewith LeC.5351 and LeC.5354 showing respectively the front end of the side steering tube and the inner ends of the cross steering tubes for Wraith II having an adjustment. The ball joint is unaltered except for the socket to engage the screw thread, whilst the screw thread on the tube is the same as on the Bentley tube to LeC.4349. This modification has been made in order to cheapen the cost of assembly in the Works. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att:LeC.5351. LeC.5354. | ||
