Bailey - Chief Engineer} RG.{Mr Rowledge} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} S E C R E T. E.A.C.111. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG11.4.24. X.9770 X.9940 So far, all the schemes got out for EAC.111 chassis only apply to the long type chassis. It is probable that some of the early cars which have been promised front wheel brakes, will be the short type chassis. There will have to be a number of new parts designed in order to apply the brakes to short chassis. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
