| Mr. Evans Lillie Hall. c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Cricklewood, Oct. 27th, 1936. 30 HP. Complaint of Short Circuit Head Lamps. Two cases have been in the depot with the above fault. It has been caused at the Coachbuilders when fitting the three wire cable from the foot switch to the junction box. A short circuit is caused by leaving too much length of wire in the junction box, which has been trapped when screwing down the cover. If the wires are kept without loops inside the junction box there will be no danger of short circuiting. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
