| ORIGINAL TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} SECRET. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M23.2.23. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. BODIES. X.9880 Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG21223., and the recommendation contained therein. The suggestion is that our drawings can be marked "Experimental chassis 5.EX". We should like the chassis to be fitted with R.H. levers. These could be the 40/50, but bent in, or so modified that they were in the position required for the E.A.C. As soon as this proposal is fixed up we will send you a sketch shewing the proposed bonnet and radiator, pedal positions, and lever positions, together with the shape of the frame at the rear so that this chassis can be modified.
