BODY SUBFRAME SECRET E.A.C.VII. -X.7380.

We send herewith N.Scheme 2207. shewing the body
subframe for E.A.C.VII. We wish to make all the full scale
schemes of the various sections following the lines of our
most recent instructions for the Phantom. As we presume
only one E.A.C.VII, will ever be built we suggest that the
side members of the subframe be built up by welding. We
wish HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to confirm that the chassis which he is building
up is for "D" type steering, and long chassis.

A design of battery in the frame as indicated will
follow in a short while.

We have shewn the cross members with sets to suit the
reduced size of propeller shaft and small diameter of fabric
coupling. We wish these to be used.

As soon as the designs are completed we would be glad
if you would send them to W.W.

One subframe is urgently needed at Messrs. Barker's for
either a Sham Carbiolet or a Beatonson Allweather.
