VISIT TO WEST WITTERINGHenry Royce's home town. X1698

During my visit to WW. last week, I took to R.{Sir Henry Royce} an EAC. 'V' series open touring car which was practically identical to the first production cars.

We also took the EAC. enclosed limousine which had fitted to it the modified steering. R.{Sir Henry Royce} was of the opinion that the steering on this limousine was all that could be desired. We have this car at the Works and we propose getting PN.{Mr Northey} and CWB. to try it when they are here tomorrow.

R.{Sir Henry Royce} expressed himself pleased with the running of the open touring EAC. car, which we left there.

We discussed steering problems, fabric coupling and explosions in silencer on EAC. 'V' series.

I also took to WW. an 'India' front axle complete with front wheel brakes. The points in connection with these were also discussed.
