| TO HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} [Stamp] ORIGINAL DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/M14.1.26. BODY FOR EAC.8. CHASSIS. [Handwritten] X7830 [Handwritten and crossed out] X7380 With reference to HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG11126. EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} is, as perhaps you are aware, on his honeymoon. In his absence I do not like to positively agree to the omitting of the subframe, but certainly it appears to me that if the car is an open one, and desired to be as light as possible, it would be as well to dispense with the subframe in this case, and use a stock body. I also think that EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} will agree to this. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
