The relevant dates are:
Sunday 11th September 1921 : Edge's first visit to Lickey Grange prior to his commencing work on the Seven.
January 1922: Edge began draughting the design of the car and by February he was coming under pressure from Austin to complete the task!
18th April 1922: Drawings taken down to the Works to commence build.
5th June 1922: First three prototypes announced at the Works Gala.
Edge makes it clear that whilst the three prototypes were being built he continued to work on the drawings. After these were built he returned to the general Drawing Office to continue to work on the drawings largely to refine them in order to improve production and to reduce cost of manufacture.
