DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}2117 - LUCAS HEADLAMPS. We have received from Messrs. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Lucas Ltd., a pair of Headlamps DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}2117. These lamps have no hinge, interior enamelling, dipper units or junction, but are fitted with 48 watt bulbs. With each lamp is supplied an adaptor to enable double filament bulbs to be fitted for Continental use. We suggest this pair be fitted to 9.B.V. for its trip in France and that the wiring be arranged so that double filament bulbs can be tried on the trip. Lamps sent herewith to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} BY/RB{R. Bowen} | ||
