| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} F.{Mr Friese} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} SECRET X7560 R2/M1.2.29 REC'D AT WW. 5.2.29 ---- ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ETC. X.7741 X.7560 LeC.2652 - Accessory Distribution Board - is approved. Double wiring seems best for the body work but one thinks that the lampholders and lamps should be single central contact to be interchangeable with other lamps, and strictly the twin flex should have a red wire for the positive so that all the bodies of the fittings are negative the same as the frame. I fear we cannot regulate this but it might be suggested on the coachbuilders instructions. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
