SPORTS BODIES. 48830 (handwritten) Referring to your LHS{Lord Herbert Scott}7/EBN11024., and DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M27924., I think that from the point of view of secrecy the sports bodies which are being made by Barkers should be removed from their Works at the earliest possible date and kept in our Experimental Department until the chassis are ready to receive them. A coat of gray paint would be sufficient. The longer they are at Barkers, the more remark are they likely to cause. It is hoped that everyone at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town will realise the vast importance of secrecy in connection with EAC.11. CJ. | ||
