| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to C. X8830 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG25.6.26. EXPERIMENTAL BODIES. X8830 (X5830 - crossed out) Replying to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M22. 5. 26. We wish to assure you that we have handed over to you the entire responsibility for experimental bodies. We have not, nor do we intend taking the responsibility ourselves. It is probable the bodies referred to by Mr.Nutt are the subframe bodies for 8-EX Barker Saloon, and 9-EX (EAC.1) Barker Cabriolet. These bodies were obtained through you and therefore you will remember all about them. The question was raised by Sales a few days ago for a body for a 20 HP. experimental chassis which will soon be completed. We told them that we wished to have nothing to do with the bodies and that it was for you and them to decide in all cases what action should be taken. We are also expecting you to provide us with a body for EAC-V11 chassis. This, we understand, is to be a long type chassis with a 'D' steering. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
