| To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG24.10.24. X8380 X8830 EAC.11. COVERED BODY. X8380 We are expecting DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} coming to Derby next week. We will discuss with him the question of using the Saloon body which we already have. We quite agree that this is a suitable type of body. As you are aware however, we are very anxious that any covered body fitted to EAC.11. shall be fixed with a sub-frame. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} is expecting to bring the design of the sub-frame to Derby so that we shall be able to let you know whether it can be applied to Barkers Saloon body.
