I think it very advisable for you to let
WW. have a car fitted with four wheel brakes, and springs
in accordance with what we have settled, to submit for
Sales approval.

I should prefer an EAC.2. chassis including all
the [struck through text] latest parts, with the radiator having a 22"
matrix, and the corresponding bonnet. Apparently this
chassis would be as complete as we propose to sell it,
with the exception of the improvement to the side levers
which are being modified to permit of better body
dimensions (See memo. tomorrow).
