DIMMING SWITCH FOR LEFT-HAND CHASSIS.
Replying to your memo Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 3/E9.1.31.
R.R.A.I. are anticipating the left-hand cars to be delivered fitted with a Bosch foot operated dimming switch.
Although they do not propose to use the third lamp scheme, they use this same switch to operate the bi-filament dimming device which they use. This scheme was fitted to 25-EX car which I took to U.S.A. That car was fitted with American lamps, bi-filament dimming and foot operated Bosch switch.
