| To BJ. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [Handwritten]: X9840 S E C R E T. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG18.9.24. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A. {Mr Adams} C. ENGINE. [Handwritten]: X9770 [crossed out] X9840 [crossed out] With reference to BJB/H17.9.24. We have no up-to-date EAC. cars. The only cars we have are - the open car which you have already tried (at present at W.W.) and a car fitted with a cabriolet body. In our opinion neither of these cars are sufficiently up-to-date for it to be useful to send to Sales for criticism. It is expected in 3 or 4 weeks time that we shall have an up-to-date EAC.11. car which, after it has been approved by R. {Sir Henry Royce} , no doubt could be tried by Sales.
