| +8430 W/S. PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S E C R E T. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG13.11.24. EAC.11. +8250 +8430 With reference to the appearance of the EAC.11. radiator and shutters. If you consider there is any doubt as regards the appearance not being acceptable to Sales, we recommend that the dummy car which is at Barkers is taken to Lillie Hall and an EAC.11. radiator is fitted to it. We think it is important that we should have Sales agreement in regard to the appearance of the EAC.11. radiator and bonnet as soon as possible. With reference to the vibration on the EAC. at approximately 10 m.p.h. It is chiefly apparent owing to the vibration of the steering column. On the latest proposals it is intended to use the standard 40/50 HP. steering. This will mean that the steering will be supported in the same manner as a 40/50 HP. and therefore should not have the same tendency to vibrate. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
