Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C., SECRET Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG11.9.23. BODIES FOR E.A.C. X.9840 We anticipate having an E.A.C. engine running on the bed in about 10 days time. Although we expect it will be some time before a chassis is completed, we suggest that we ought to put in hand some suitable bodies. We might make some rough templates for the Coachbuilder to make the body to and do the final fitting at the Works. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
