| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ8/H17.9.24. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} S O P Y. S E C R E T. X8770 EAC. ENGINE. X8770 With reference to R4/M29.8.24., when could you let us have at Gerrards Cross two of the most up-to-date EAC. cars, one with an open and one with a closed body? We are anxious to try a car as it stands now, so far as it has been perfected, in order to form an opinion in regard to putting it into production as quickly as possible. The car with open body is more urgent than the car with closed body: at the same time we should like to form an opinion of how far this chassis is suitable for a closed body. copy sent to R.{Sir Henry Royce} B.J. | ||
