A number of relatively cheap cars are now fitted with Fog lamps as standard and in view of the tests we have carried out on 4.B.IV and on other cars, i.e. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s and Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s we consider some auxiliary lamp for fog driving is essential. Our present procedure, we understand is to issue yellow fog discs to fit to the headlamps. We recommend therefore that we equip all our cars with the new Lucas fog lamp mounted on the front cross member as arranged on the cars referred to above. A standardization sheet is being circulated accordingly. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
