Reference BY/Cgh.{W Clough}S/09.4.35, we note you are arranging for the additional wiring on all chassis R-R and Bentley as soon as possible. We are very anxious to start getting chassis through with this modified wiring, because whilst we are doing them in London it costs considerably more than if the chassis come through suitably wired in the first place. As regards the changeover switch, whilst we are prepared to supply this for the R-R chassis, we suggest you should supply it as part of the chassis with all Bentleys seeing that they are all equipped with lamps when despatched from the Works. A simple push-pull switch will do so far as we are concerned, and is what we are using at present on those cars which we modify in this way in London. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
