Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}8/M18/9/24. EASTERN ARMOURED CAR. At a conference held on Tuesday, the 16th inst. when there were present - R, CJ, BJ and myself, I stated that we should have two E.A.C.II chassis ready Oct.11th., two chassis ready Oct.25th., and two ready Nov.5th. I also gave these dates to Mr.Cowen, and asked him to get suitable bodies for these chassis, so that they would be ready in time. BJ. said that Sales wished to try an E.A.C.II with a covered body very early, and I was instructed to take steps to bring this about. Will you, therefore, kindly arrange that of the first two chassis that are ready on Oct.11th. one should be fitted with a covered body. If you have not a suitable body in the Experimental Department for this job, we shall have to arrange to get one from Mr.Cowen. [Watermark: MADE AT CROXLEY] | ||
