EAC. MOCK-UP.

The shutters of the EAC. are made of the same material as the outside of the radiator. The reason they appeared different on the model was because they were not polished to the same extent.

On production there is no reason why they should not have exactly the same appearance as the radiator.

What do you propose to do now with the dummy chassis? As you realise, the chassis is entirely out-of-date but there are parts on it which we could make use of.
