| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X8770 HsS/LMR.9.8.24. E.A.C.11. and 111. x8770 x8410 x 8250 We propose bringing an EAC.11. car to WW. next week. If convenient to you we shall arrive on Wednesday morning the 27th.inst. The car will be the open touring car which was condemned by Sales for springing. Since it was last at WW. we have fitted weaker rear springs, 12½% stiffer front springs and the latest exhaust system. It does not, of course, represent an EAC.11. car but it is the most modern car we have at the moment. It would be difficult to add a radiator with the 22" matrix to this car because it would mean extensive body alterations. Very good progress is being made in the building of an uptodate EAC.111. chassis which will have all the new parts which have been instructed. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
