DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S E C R E T. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG8.4.25. X8830 BODY FOR FHR. X.8770 [crossed out] X-8830 With reference to the EAC. car for R.{Sir Henry Royce} We should be glad if you could give us a specification for the chassis. Although we have practically completed 9-PK, we are only putting mock-up change speed levers and brake levers on. The correct ones are a long way off completion. We have put in hand a subframe. We assume that it will be a short chassis. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
