Mr. Wormald brought a list of parts waiting for designs. Fortunately most of these were well in hand, but some were only created during the holiday - i.e. radiator, support for same, and starting handle.

They are parts belonging to the final part of the chassis, and one thinks the great thing will be to get a suitable large sized, chauffeur-driven body ready in time. Perhaps one like EAC.7. would be good - 6-seater, cabriolet de ville, with rear part of roof fixed, or double limousine with leather or fabric roof.

We had proposed certain features on the radiator which have now been achieved - i.e. deep, narrow and high radiator, with handle through matrix when shutters are open.

I am now anxious that the middle of the dash and scuttle shall not be too high for best appearance.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
