| to BY from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} SECRET copy to BY, HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL X7770 EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/13.5.26. E.A.C. IX. We send herewith N.Sch.2187. shewing the layout of chassis E.A.C. IX. This is the experimental chassis which will follow E.A.C.VII. We wish you to obtain for us six black and white prints in order that we may send them to R-R Inc. of America. for Na.{Mr Nadin} When you have supplied prints to ourselves and to "ElmsteadHenry Royce's home in West Wittering" we would be glad if you would return to us our original drawing to enable us to make a more complete layout. For the sake of speed we would like the prints to be made direct from the pencil tracing, but if it is considered that the result would be poor it will be necessary to make a linen tracing.
