In case one the brackets will be vertical in the front view. In case two they will be set, but we suggest that the set be made as far as possible near the top so as to be hidden behind the lamp. These brackets (both sets) are to be made for P.100. type lamps, and sufficient clearance must be allowed between the locking nuts and the radiator. Apparently the brackets will need to lean slightly forward. On G.2.B. Series, when the radiator is raised one inch, the lamps will go up accordingly. Whatever position chosen by Sales for the fixed headlamps should be applied also to our dipping lamps for standard use. The position for the dipping lamps for sports cars will remain as originally instructed. We hope that this information will enable Derby to send to London the two sets of brackets, and that when the choice | ||
