| S/W (Copy to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) Y7500 C11/C29.1.26. Re E.A.C.VIII - Straight Dash. By14/H4.1.26. ----- We believe that a chassis is now being prepared for an Open Touring body which we are purchasing from Barkers and sending up to Derby for the Works to fit to the new chassis with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Perhaps you will arrange with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} for this car, when it is ready, to be sent to London for inspection. Are you any further with the design for the Covered car, because we would like to know at as early a date as possible so that we can have a body built on this occasion so that when the car is complete it will not be a compromise.
