GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. HEAD LAMP WIRING. We should like to point out that our N.sch. 1243 shews a proposal for preventing the lamp from turn- ing, and so shearing it's wires. It also shews increased facility for leading the wires round the wing stay and lamp bracket, and also a method of preventing the accumulation of water inside the wing stay. What we propose to do is to shew a method of armouring a portion of the lead, when we expect that this matter will complete this job. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
