To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to C. c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ------------------ X7830 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG11.1.26. BODY FOR EAC.8. CHASSIS. You will realise that we are going to be very pushed for time on the body for EAC.8. chassis. We suggest that as this is going to be an open car, we do not fit the subframe. This should enable us to use a stock body. We get an increase in weight with the subframe, and as we are proposing to make a short open car, we should like to keep the weight down as much as possible. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
