| X.9840 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from CJ. Copy to R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.A.C. CJ3/E13/9/23 I do not like the idea of having bodies built for the E.A.C. car. The body builders, most of whom are purchasers of Rolls-Royce chassis, would imagine that we were going to bring out a new chassis. On the contrary the idea was that, when once the chassis is allowed on the road, it should be disguised by armour. The armoured body could probably be so constructed as to closely resemble in weight and distribution of weight the covered car with full load and passengers and luggage. CJ. | ||
