| X7770 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. Specifications of new Chassis. BJ4/E12.1.28 Kindly let me have three copies of a statement giving a short specification of new chassis which are being prepared or are being tested, indicating: (a). Their EAC number. (b). Whether it is intended finally to put them into production. (c). What is the position of each. (d). What they are to be called in our correspondence. (e). What you expect will be their progress, such as the date on which they will start 10,000 miles, the date they will finish and the date they may start being put into production. Such a list will be very useful to C., Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and myself. I have seen the brief specifications contained in E1/M28.12.27 and Dal/M30.12.27 concerning EAC.10, and these are the kind of particulars I want to have concerning all chassis, both 40/50 and 20 HP, so far as you are able to give them me at present, please. This will help us with our conference at Derby next Wednesday if I am able to study your specifications beforehand. BJ. | ||
