EAC.7. CHASSIS. X7770

This complete chassis will be running in 14 days.
In spite of the rush on F.X., work on this chassis has been carried on continuously.

There has been a certain amount of delay due to certain incompletions or alterations in the instructions. It is very difficult to avoid these delays when building a complete new chassis.

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
