Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG30.8.26. EAC-Vll. X7770 X.7050 We anticipate it will be 4 or 5 weeks before we have a Phantom engine running with the new aluminium head and cylinders. It will be at least 8 or 9 weeks before an EAC-Vll chassis can be completed. The patterns for the head and cylinders are nearing completion. A number of the outstanding parts for this chassis are given in BY1/H28.8.26 progress report. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
