To EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Buzzer Type Horns. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 14/E15.1.31

Referring to EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/AD2.1.31 we have now tried this latest type Bosch horn UK.12A. and, whilst it seems to be a little better than the former one tried, nevertheless I still feel that there is no real case for making a change to this type of horn from the Klaxon.

Our views are still as per those expressed in Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 19/E. 22.12.30, copy of which is attached.

The horn is being returned to you when next a car comes up to Derby.

X.6077/8 If the Experimental Dept. still feel that there is a good case for chahging from the Klaxon horn to the Buzzer type, I should be glad if they would bring the matter up for discussion the next time I am at Derby. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
