| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 7770 R2/M25.11.25. EAC.1. and 7. X.8920 X.7770 We are arranging for these to carry one of the spare wheels at the rear. This is very advantageous to the general going of the car, helping to keep the back axle on the ground, and making the weight on the front wheels less. We are fitting EAC.1. with side filler to the petrol tank instead of the top filler. We are making a scheme for placing the back cross rail about 6" further forward, probably shortening the springs at each end 3", and arranging the back dumb irons so as to carry the rear springs further back than the cross rail, to improve appearance, etc. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
