They are suitable for J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. and P. 2., with a smaller edition for R.{Sir Henry Royce} 2., and Peregrine. They are very simple to make, and we think that it is the easiest design that is effective and positively locked. The 4 controls include the dimming switch and electric horn. There is no possibility of trapping one's fingers. The design entails some unskilled work, and one thinks might be made in the Electrical Dept. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
