| X8770 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJS/H20.8.24. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. II. With regard to the E.A.C.II car you are taking to Mr. Royce, in view of the fact that this has fittings on the steering wheel and dashboard which are not similar to our 40/50 h.p. standard, you will doubtless prevent this car being left anywhere where it can be seen by anyone except our own people. Also, the usual arrangements should be made in regard to someone being responsible for the key of the bonnet, and if the key changes hands, the usual paper should be signed. CJ. has asked me to point out that the utmost secrecy is still of the greatest possible importance to the whole company. B.J. | ||
