It would appear now, that we shall be requiring bodies for E.A.C. chassis. We have recommended that 6 Expl: E.A.C-3 cars are built. If it is agreed to, we shall require 6 Bodies. We have suggested that after the tests are completed the cars could be used as Trials Cars. We should therefore like you to keep in mind that these bodies are likely to be required.
