| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1357 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG2.5.22. 40/50 HEAD LAMP BRACKET. With reference to attached. We consider that the sample lamp bracket is a definite improvement over the old-fashioned pronge bracket. We consider, however, that if Sales Dept. will standardise this bracket, we ought to be able to make them at the Works out of steel and much lighter. There is a danger of the bronze casting being faulty. attc. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 4/BM/27.4.22. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
