| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R1/M22.6.25. [Handwritten left margin] S/B 240 1807 EAC. [Handwritten] X8770 I am particularly anxious that you should try an EAC. chassis with the following modifications:- (1) Slightly stiffer front springs. (2) Slightly less fierce brakes. (3) Slightly less braking on front wheels. (4) Slightly slower servo speed. All these would I think contribute towards safety, and an absence of jaggering brakes. About this latter phenomenon I shall be pleased if you will let me have information as to whether there has been any re-currence in our experience.
