| WST r635. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Dashboard Illumination. Copy to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} When the Buick car comes up to Derby, I should be glad if you would look at this because it seemed to me that the illumination of the instruments was rather good. The whole of the dials was lit up instead of one portion being brighter than another as on our cars and at the same time it was not sufficiently bright to be dazzling to the driver. It would be worth seeing how it was done. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} To be noted when car is available. | ||
